A screen shaking problem that I had a while back but somehow "self-corrected" for awhile has come back to haunt me. I tried these forums, other forums, and every possible solution I could find out there to stop my screen from shaking, nothing worked.

Is it possible that due to my cases horrible size and the size of my video card that the FAN in my case spinning directly above my video card (I mean directly, maybe an inch above) is what is causing the disturbance enough to make my screen shake?

Any other hardware possibilities of things going on inside my case that make my screen shake? I don't think its the monitor, since i have tested this monitor using the same VGA cables on a different computer... proving the monitor + the cables/adapters were OK. It has to be card related.

A physical fan doesn't make an electric video signal shaky....

I was thinking that maybe static might be caused due to the dust being interwoven with the fan etc and then the span spinning really fast causing particles to be thrown around.... The static electricity part is really plausible IMO.

Is this a CRT? Analog connection? Got another cable?

try:


new cables to the monitor (Power and signal)
plug monitor into another outlet
if speakers are next to it, move them
if anything else is plugged into that outlet besides the PC, unplug it (house fans, etc)
double check your resolution and refresh rate settings



And as nightelph said, is this CRT or LCD, and analog or digital?

I've tried all those things, plus more. Also its an LCD Monitor. I have to use a DVI to VGA adapter to my video card (ATI Radeon 4850). Not sure what else to try. Whats strange is the shaking goes away after about 30 seconds and all returns to normal.

It only shakes after I boot my PC up, then goes away.
