What is wrong with my monitor?

[Phil]

Those green dots appear every now and then when I scroll up and down this site and several others, but dissapear.

It hates you, thats whats wrong with it....I suggest not feeding it, and slapping it around a little and reminding it that nobody else would love it but you.








but in all seriousness Im not sure. Have you done the whole shut down and restarted to see if it's just a hiccup?

 

[Keanu]

test if this happens in other browsers too.

Here's your problem:
1. You're using Windows Internet Explorer.
2. You're using Windows in general.

Here's your solution:
1. Download Firefox.
2. Use Firefox.

You're welcome. :CStern:

I suggest you try it again, Mulluns, only this time let go of your conscious self and act on instinct.

Why are you googling indifference?

Yep. Still same.

So far, it's on this fourm and one other. It seems to like doing it on fourms and on some word documents.

It's the monitor, not the Internet I use. I'm not switching to Firefox cause I like IE and I'm used to it.

With Firefox, I agree. To not using Windows, **** Mac!

Stop saying that you waffle!

If you can take a picture of it with a screenshot, then it's not your monitor.

 

[Matt]

It has aids.

 

[Brandon Rhea]

I like IE

Does not compute.

 

[Eiji]

I don't understand how anyone can use Intarweb Exploder. I rather use the MSN browser that comes stock with XP than IE.

 

[Ping]

Maybe you have some dead pixels?

 

[Sir Dakar]

Wait, you can take a screenshot of it? Thats just ****ed up, and that also means it isn't your monitor like somebody else said. Last time I saw green spots onscreen my Graphics card nuked itself. If this is the same situation I have no idea.

I understand that you are used to IE and you don't want to change browsers, which is an argument for another time, but try and view these pages in FF or Chrome and see if the same stuff happens. It's more than likely that it is an IE problem.

He mentioned it happened in Word documents as well.

Oh.. well tits then. How exactly do they disappear?

It's your graphics card. I had red specks when my first card died on my desktop, though they were much higher in number and happened anytime. I'll browse my Photobucket if I can find the image I took.

I found it.

Logic, it works.

They just dissapear on their own. I think it might be my video card actualy, because... well, when I play The Sims 3, the graphics get very... weird sometimes. It was fine before, but now sometimes characters will become glitched looking and a pixel on them will turn into a spike, sometimes items are see through, etc. It's strange though cause it does not do that for other games.

Wow. Hopefully, I'll get it fixed before that happens.

Try updating some drivers. If not, get a graphics card that was manufactured at least in the past five years.
