The screen flickers between "full" screen and about 1 inch smaller on top and bottom.
There are horizontal black lines that flicker on and off on the screen that move up and down quickly before disappearing.
I assumed that it was a video card problem, but when I tried a different card, it did the same thing. I am thinking now that it could be the monitor or the power supply, both of whom are from my original 2004 build.
My monitor is a 19" CRT a Mitsubishi Diamond Pro 930SB, which was a really nice monitor in it's day. The power supply is a Ultra 500watt modular unit.
Is there any way to diagnose this problem without trial and error? I don't have a spare PS or monitor.
Thanks
