    Screen Waves
AI Thread Summary
The issue involves a computer monitor displaying waves and shaking, which persisted even after trying a different monitor. Attempts to resolve the problem included reinstalling the ATI driver pack, adjusting resolution and refresh rates, and restoring the system to an earlier date, with only minor improvements. The system is built on an A64 processor with an MS7093 motherboard and an onboard ATI Xpress 200 V chip. Despite running multiple antivirus and malware scans, no solution was found. Common causes like magnetic interference were ruled out. Ultimately, the problem was identified as a faulty video chip on the motherboard, which was resolved by installing a new video card, eliminating the display issues. The effectiveness of the system restore remains unclear.

my computer just got waves and shaking on the monitor
tried a different monitor same result
tryed reloading the ATI driver pack it got worse
dumped everything in the V driver and reloaded still bad
tried high and low rez and refresh rates
high on both looked worse to the point of being unreadable
with lowest rez best but still some waves and shaking
restore to an earlyer date some what better but still there just somewhat less

the box is a A64 in a MS7093 MB with on board ATI xpress 200 V chip

run avast anti-virus maliwarebites spybot adaware combofix and no cure

is this a known bug or is it chip failure
would a video card be a fix to disable the on MB chip

edit googled this a bit and common fixes like el wires or magnets near screen DONOT APPLY
no close source of this problem and no thing new has been added or moved

I'm not quite sure what your problem is. Is the monitor doing this constantly, or is it more of a "flicker?"
 
Moving magnetic fields near the monitor can cause this, or even blowing a fan at the monitor can cause it
 
fixed it !
was a bad video chip on the MB
I knew it was not magnetic fields
a new video card and no more waves

I am not sure why the restore to early date helped at all
 

Thread 'Is AI hype?'

In my discussions elsewhere, I've noticed a lot of disagreement regarding AI. A question that comes up is, "Is AI hype?" Unfortunately, when this question is asked, the one asking, as far as I can tell, may mean one of three things which can lead to lots of confusion. I'll list them out now for clarity. 1. Can AI do everything a human can do and how close are we to that? 2. Are corporations and governments using the promise of AI to gain more power for themselves? 3. Are AI and transhumans...

Thread 'ChatGPT Examples, Good and Bad'

I've been experimenting with ChatGPT. Some results are good, some very very bad. I think examples can help expose the properties of this AI. Maybe you can post some of your favorite examples and tell us what they reveal about the properties of this AI. (I had problems with copy/paste of text and formatting, so I'm posting my examples as screen shots. That is a promising start. :smile: But then I provided values V=1, R1=1, R2=2, R3=3 and asked for the value of I. At first, it said...
