VGA is sending scrambled frames (Video) to the monitor?

- the fan of the VGA is making noisy voice.

- At first, there were no display at all, and the motherboard was sounding beeps to indicate a malfunctioning VGA (or inability to communicate with it).

- I removed the VGA and cleaned its interface.

- I brought an Air Blower gun to try to clean the AGP slot.

- Then I reinstalled the VGA card on the AGP slot.



- The motherboard was now able to communicate with the VGA card and didn't sound any beeps. So, the windows was loaded and its components and everything can be seen on the monitor normally, but with lots of noise, like pixels changing color that is just making the image unclear.





What could be the problem, and how can I resolve this?



Thanks.VGA is sending scrambled frames (Video) to the monitor?
the problem is repairable, how-ever not the way you would like. The beeps you heard was error on the memory of the graphics card. this is non repairable and the cause could be anything from a power surge to overheating. find a memory testing program and run the test...usually windows will recognize the address that is faulty and will not use that faulty address. this will slow down your computer and most probably frustrate you enough to go and buy another one.

other problem could be that the contact between the graphics card and AGP slot is not that great...using a carbon pen on the graphics card`s contacts could fix this problem.

Good Luck!VGA is sending scrambled frames (Video) to the monitor?
