Specifications


It may be that your monitor does not have 75 ohm terminators on all unused D-subs and BNC inputs.
Some monitors may have a (very small) switch on the back which will allow you to switch this on (one
example is the Eizo Flexscan T562). It may have an infinity sign at one end and 75 ohm at the other end.
Switch this to 75 ohm.

If you have BNC inputs to your monitor try buying a lead that will allow you to use them. They must be
75 ohm BNC cables.

Try using RF chokes on the monitor cable.

Try using an external VGA signal amplifier between your GeForce and your monitor. Be warned,
however, that these amplifiers are expensive!

You might want to read the information on the following website - it details how your card may be
poorly designed and give a bad signal:


It could be a dodgy card. Try replacing it if it's still under warranty.

Try another monitor and cable. This issue seems to turn up especially with Trinitron and DiamondTron
monitors, and unfortunately there is no current fix.

Q. My 2D display is corrupted. How can I fix it?
You may also want to read the 'When I resume from monitor power saving modes in Windows 9x/ME, I get
display corruption and / or instability problems, or my card seems slower than usual. How can I fix it?'
question.

If you are overclocking, try setting the card back to the default settings and then underclocking. If this
helps, you might want to try cooling your card with a more efficient cooler. See the 'What is a good
replacement fan for a GeForce?' question for some tips.

If you are using ASUS drivers and in particular the SmartDoctor's 'Dynamic Chip Cooling' feature, try
using the NVIDIA reference drivers.

If the corruption is on your Start button and toolbar buttons in particular, try disabling your soundcard /
sound chipset. If this fixes the problem, then if you have a Yamaha chipset based soundcard try using the
Yamaha drivers included with Windows ME or Windows 2000 instead of those available on the website.
Unfortunately there is no similar fix for the problem for Yamaha soundcards under Windows 9x/ME. If
you are using another soundcard, try downloading the latest official drivers from the sound card chipset
manufacturer's homepage - in particular, Turtle Beach Santa Cruz sound card owners should download
the latest official drivers from the Turtle Beach website instead of anywhere else.
If you have a Yamaha DX-XG soundcard, you may be able to just disable the game port and legacy
sound system in the Windows System control panel.

You can also try using the 5.xx series of drivers.

This may also be caused by a dodgy card - see if you can get it replaced under warranty.
