Hi peoples,
I've got an LG L1510S LCD monitor and my screen display is buggered.I left the computer for about 30 minutes and now I can't play a game and on the desktop I have these little black lines above the icon text. I had a little look at LG's useless support and found the troubleshooting in the manual. I pressed AUTO/SELECT and it wasn't any better.

But anyway, I suggest you open your case, take the card completely out and perhaps vacuum your case out a bit.. then re-seat your card. Make sure that it isn't getting overheated either.
I dunno if this is any help but I've now figured out that some of these black lines are shadows.

First of all, I would suggest a cold boot (Turn everything off completely, and cut off power to your mb). Next, boot it up and see if its still all screwy.. if so, try connecting a different monitor and see if the problem is still evident..
Tell me what happens.
I was on the 'net prior to this problem. I tried to cold boot and that didn't work. I connected the monitor to a different computer and the monitor was fine, so I think the graphics card is stuffed. Also, my graphics card is a GeCube ATI Radeon 9800XT 128MB AGP card. I'm thinking of getting an ASUS NVidia 7600GS 256MB for half the price of the card I have now. What's ATI's equivalent of the 7600GS

I got an ASUS Nvidia 7600 GS for AUD$155 and it works. I had the graphics card for 4 years.
Did you try my suggestion about taking it out, and cleaning it a bit?
