Are you using the monitor that came with the rig? If so, it could be a problem with the monitor. I don't know where you live, but surely you could pick up a pci vid card for your benchwork for -10us.

The monitor is one of my own (15' LCD) and it's in good working condition. I use it for things like this becuase Its easy to move around and that way people don't have to bring their big 100lb+ monitors over here.


No chance of picking up a cheap used PCI video card in my town. The cheapest place that sells video cards in my town would be a new at Wal-mart. The 2 or 3 Mom and Pop computer stores around here would probably charge twice as much for a 5 year old video card compared to one of Wal-marts new ones. I'd have to travle 600 miles+ to get a good buy.:tears:


Update; I just got ahold of a PCI video card to try and that does not work either.
