Yeah that seems strange to me as well, which is why I'd really love to track down the problem, it isn't making sense. Do you know what I could use to check the temperature? I looked through the nvidia program (it is a geforce 5600, I know my comp is getting old

) but I didn't see an option. I'll browse the net for programs as well too, but a good recommendation is generally much better with all the bad software out there. Thanks!!!

EDIT UPDATE
I tried this program called GPU-Z and while it didn't tell me the temperature it did say that my fan is at 0% So I think you really might be on to something with the video card temp. I think maybe I should even try taking the card out and seeing if the monitor goes fuzzy. No reason to waste a perfectly good 20 inch monitor

Thanks!!
