Hi, i recently bought this desktop ( http://www.shopping.hp.com/en_US/home-office/-/products/Desktops/HP-Pavilion-Elite-Phoenix/QW827AA;pgid=GwRQXQm6CA9SRpAcIk4e8l7g0000w3nG9LP_?HP-Pavilion-HPE-h9-1135-Phoenix-Desktop-PC&&rwCatalog=-&rwCategory=- ) (relax, it was on sale) and so far am loving it very much.
One major problem i have with it, though, is that i'm having severe screen tearing issues when im scrolling through my browser. I dont recall having this issue when in games, but on youtube, for instance, if i scroll up and down, the video lags behind and there are 1 / 2 extra horizontal frames of the screen overlapping each other, like this http://img42.imageshack.us/img42/4034/capturencc.png . That is after i scroll down then back up to the video. This happens on any website, on any browser (chrome, explorer, firefox), on any monitor (checked my other monitor, as i have http://www.amazon.com/Gateway-FPD1975W-Widescreen-High-Definition-Flat-Panel/dp/B000H2PMXQ at the moment).
So im suspecting that it's an issue with my video card, but what? Vsync? Drivers? One thing i suspect is that the computer cam with AMD Vision Engine instead of Catalyst, so i installed Catalyst 12.4 and it never showed up on my HDD so i ignored that and assumed Vision Engine is fine enough.
Any ideas? Thanks
