GeForce 8600 GT plugged cable and got checkerboard image? - 2009/12/21 01:38
I have a GeForce 8600 GT and Windows 7. I bought a S-video to RCA adapter so I could play my games on an 21inch economic TV. So, I switched on the computer but when I connected the cable to the card and to the TV, my entire desktop was fill with a checkerboard pattern. I disconnected the cable, but the pattern didn't disappear. I ran some games, everyone runs fine but have that checkerboard too.
I tried removing the card, uninstalling the drivers, installing older versions, resetting the BIOS, but it did nothing. Switching to 16-bit color mode fixed the problem at the desktop, but it didn't in the games. I simply don't understand how plug this cable can bring this problem. I mean, if you say to me that you hit the card somehow, or you touched it while having static in your hands, it's okay, but plug a cable, I don't get it.
I know that games run fine, but I'm really convinced that it did some damage to the card, somehow. I don't find another explanation. I don't know what to do now, I'm now using my onboard video card, a GeForce 6150 but of course it is nothing compared to the GeForce 8600. I want to find a solution before having to buy another card, because I still don't understand how a simple cable can do some damage to my card. Thanks in advance!
