Hi.
I'm not sure if what I'm experiencing nowadays is relevant to the
discussion, but I've recently received my Iyonix Aria computer (with the
nVidia FX5200 graphics card), having only had it a couple of days, and after
it has been on for about a day (I can't say I've seen this earlier since
boot-up), I'm getting "wavy" vertical lines on my Desktop... Occasionally,
the whole picture nudges a little back and forth, horizontally, giving a
rather "sea-sickening" feeling.
Have any of you experienced something like this? Could it be that the nVidia
card gets too warm (all ventilation openings are uncovered, and the room has
normal temperature)? [1] Or perhaps an unstable PSU, giving rise to an
unstable picture?
The computer is brand new (as mentioned, I got it a couple of days ago), so
it's certainly not due to wear...
Lastly: Any suggestion for diagnosing the problem? I guess I'll leave the
computer off over the night, and see if the effect is gone when booting up
tomorrow.
However, from what I've read of this thread, the so-called "pyjamas effect"
appears to be something that usually or always happens at startup.
Thankful for replies. My Iyonix purchase has got off to a little rocky
start, as the USB keyboard I received turned out to not work (I've found
another one I could use in the mean time), and the mouse - although working
when directly connected to the computer - didn't work with the KVM (also
that one from Castle), but my original mouse works just fine with the KVM.
I've sent mail to Castle support about the keyboard/mouse, but as video
problems are currently being discussed, I thought I'd just mentioned the
above experience.
By the way, as mentioned, I'm using a KVM, and the picture from the PC (ATI
card) is rock steady (as it has always been), so it's certainly not a
monitor problem.
Regards,
Terje
P.S. Thanks for the replies in the mailing list archive thread.
[1] Paul Vigay has mentioned various temperature readings, does anyone know
if there are sensors for this in the Aria model, as well?
