Well, I'm out of ideas on this one. Maybe you guys can help.
I'm using a Samsung 900 NF CRT. Earlier this week I saw my screen start, for lack of better term, compacting. Like the horizontal hold is going. There is a lot of distortion around the edges and it presses in and springs back out. It doesn't do this all the time. I made it through 3-4 hours of DiabloII this last weekend and it was fine. First I thought it might be something to do with the subwoofer under the table distrupting signals. I moved the cable, still did it. I tried 2 different monitor cables on it, both produced the same results, sometimes worse. Next I tried a more heavy duty power cord, that cleared it up temporarily, but it started up again last night. The only other thing I haven't tried is plugging it in directly into the wall instead of an almost full power strip.
I'm not pushing the monitor, I run the desktop at 12x10 at 16bit, my games around the same. The videocard is a Visiontek Geforce3, the high res on the monitor is 1800x1440. I've only brought it to 1 LAN party and it has been working fine since then. It's less then 6 months old.
Any ideas??
