Clock Phase Monitor

[Deleted]

Hello guys, I seem to have a little problem here. Yesterday my computer froze so I had to restart it manually by pressing down the Power-on button for a couple seconds. after I turned it back, I noticed something wierd with the screen. it seems that the entire screen has been lowered, I cannot see my taskbar but it's there I can press on it. and there's a black sort of line on the top of the screen. Almost as if that line in the screen is dead. I checked it up on Google and they said something about a Clock phase? now when I enter the menu on the screen there's "Clock" and "Clock phase". but they don't do anything I swap them around and nothing changes. If I could get a little help I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!


Btw, I tried Vertical and Horisontal tweeking, Vertical tweeking does not work. The screen simply wont move

If possible could you take some pictures on your camera / phone or whatever and upload them for us to see? I think that would be much easier. (A screenshot might also help as a comparison to the external picture.)

Aw...

Well, looking at your pictures now. Does look weird.
Are all cables still plugged in properly?

Yes it does, in the screen menu and in Nvidia settings. the one in Nvidia settings works but the black line on the top of the screen is still there.

Yes, they are. but could it be that my VGA cable is maybe broken or something?

[Cracka_Bob]

so v. positioning doesnt fix it then? hmm....

[llDemonll]

that's usually only available on a vga connection, not dvi/hdmi

Nope does not fix it

Does anyone know what I can do about it? should I return the screen? or is it not an issue with the screen?

Does it do this during the POST test while booting? Or is it only once in windows? Have you tried in safe mode? The fact that you hard powered your machine off after a lock up means there is potential for a corrupted file...Possibly display driver related... I would try safe mode, if it looks correct there, uninstall and reinstall yoru drivers.

Actually no this also happens before I get into windows.

Do you have a laptop or other PC you can plug the screen into for a few seconds, to see if its still happening?

If it's happening during POST then it is likely your video card or the monitor...try hooking the monitor up to another device....That will tell you pretty much which it is.

I plugged the screen into another computer, a laptop it still didn't work. but I used the same VGA cabel to plug it in.

I presume you don't have another cable to try it with? (As you mentioned using the same one...) Also shouldn't you be using a DVI or HDMI connection rather than a VGA one?
