[QUOTE="johnnyluu, post: 296775, member: 1314"] For the love of all things good, could someone please tell me what's going on with my G5? :oneye: I've been using it for 3/4 years straight, not a problem. I then transported home from work just before christmas, powered it up and got this! [URL="http://johnny.persistentperil.net/images/screen1.jpg"]SCREENSHOT 1[/URL] [URL="http://johnny.persistentperil.net/images/screen2.jpg"]SCREENSHOT 2[/URL] I'm assuming something happened during the journey home, but I'm at a loss as to what. I'm thinking there's a loose connection somewhere, but I don't know where. I've fiddled with the graphics card (radeon 9800 pro) had a good look inside, checked the connection I could reach, reset everything that could be reset and booted from various partitions and hard disks. Randomly after a reset it was working perfectly without glitches, then I reset again and got the same problem. Because of this I am reluctant to shell out cash for a new graphics card until I know I have exhausted every other possibility. Has anyone else seen this or can offer any advice. I would be eternally thankful. Thanks loads. [/QUOTE]
