Hi guys.
I've done a search with a number of different sets of terms for this problem, but didn't really find what I was after (though I'm sure I can't be the only one to have witnessed this symptom).
On an ASUS P5LD2-TVM SE/S motherboard, with a couple of different PSUs, the video on the monitor 'wobbles'. It's noticeably worse with the onboard graphics than with a GFX card plugged into the PCIe slot. One PSU (an old Dell SFF unit) made the wobbling clearly worse, while a newer PSU almost eliminated it. Having lots of video movement on the screen seems to exacerbate the problem as well.
Basically, I'm assuming that, even though the caps on the mobo are not visibly bulging or leaking, some or many of them are duff. I'm also assuming the Dell PSU, even though its voltages measure well within spec, might be passing a fair amount of noise to its outputs. Is either of these assumptions likely to be correct?
Many thanks, Jon.
