Monitor / Videocard problems

Hi All,

I'm hoping one of you gurus out there might be able to help me.

Is it possible for a dodgy graphics card (or maybe a dodgy AGP port) to damage a

monitor? A few weeks ago my main monitor (Eizo 17 inch) started to swell and shrink at

the edges of the screen when I opened a window that had a lot of white in it, then after

a while it started to `pop` like I`d just switched it on and off quickly (the picture

would bulge at the edges when it did that), this got progressively worse till it went

totally dark and showed no picture (dead). I attached my old spare monitor which was

fine for a few days, but now its doing the bulge/shrink at the screen edge thing when I

open windows with a lot of white in them. So I attached this monitor to my old spare pc

and now it does the bulge/shrink thing on that too (it didn`t before) so it looks like

my spare monitor is damaged now too.

Can anyone out there gimme some help/advice?

Cheers,

J

im the "MainGuRu" here;)

well this might be due to some magnet close to the monitor, see that you dont have any big speakers next to it or any other device that might be using megnate.
