[mur3x]

Hi!, i've been experiencing strange red patches around my monitor recently. sometimes When i start my PC the desktop icon borders gradually start to turn red & the whole screen goes red and then greenish. sometimes it doesn't happen but i see 4 or 5 red bars around my monitor. is the fault with my Video card or my monitor?.

My system is as below,,
P3 550, 128MB, Win98 SE
Video card is a 8MB AGP SiS6326
DirectX version 8
Plug n play monitor (w/ refresh rate set to optimal)

appreciate ur help much!.

thnx.

could be bad connections in the cable.
mostly it's monitor faults (not vga card)
