Screen Shaking?

Post by JpCT »

I just bought a new dell 4600 and it was running perfect until today. I came home and when i was typing i couldnt concentrate on the screen. I thought i was just losing it but then i noticed my screen is literally shaking. Not the monitor itself, just the screen, its weird. its shaking like as if you were shaking the table and it moved the screen....what could this be? bad card? monitor? I tried degausing it but it didn't help. now the whole screen shakes :(

Is the monitor around any surge protectors or florescent lights? My screen in my dorm would use to shake cuz the florsecent light was right by it and the flow of electrons fucked it up.

Edit: as he said, a fan would do this also.

I actually had the same problem with my dell monitor. Yet didn't with any of my other monitors. Damn sensitive POS's. Even the microwave from downstairs would make the screen shake.
