After some time, the display gives a vertical band pattern, especially while 'stressing' the computer by running a checksum program to check a 2.8G video file.
Checks that i've done:
1. Removed video card (now using on-board video)
2. Swapped monitor
3. Swapped/removed RAM sticks
The input caps are 3 X 16V KZG
The output caps are 3 X 6.3V MBZ.
All the caps look good, but i'm aware that they may fail with no visible signs.
Could faulty input/output caps cause this issue?
The square in the picture is the mouse pointer, that responds well when moving the mouse.
The computer can eventually be shut down by pressing the "windows key" then U U.
Or is this pointing more to a problem with the K8M800 NB chip which is responsible for creating the video output?
