Following on from discussions in the 'stuff that annoys you' thread. I followed JJ's advice to 'clean up', and then reinstall drivers and it did improve things. I now have HD resolution again and my PC has stopped crashing (so far). However, notice the green lines that should not be there:  And why is the device a 'Microsoft basic display' adapter and not the Radeon HD7850 I have in the machine?  Is my graphics card fucked? It is, isn't it? |

Thanks. That was what I was hoping, but not expecting to hear.
You can't see the green lines in the bottom left corner of the screen where the start menu is opened?

I used a driver cleaner app already. It improved things. But still not quite right.

I think your monitor may be fucked...

I can see green lines on that image Barry.
Would a fucked monitor cause the PC to crash with blue screen errors? Actually, I have another monitor, I'll try plugging that in......

That's alright then FH, your computer's fine, it's just you that's gone completely mental  Sorry to elbow into the thread but what's wrong with Avast, out of curiosity? |

The weird thing about the lines obout Barry's image is that they (the green lines) always remain relative to where the image is. They don't move relatively to the image if I scroll up/down.
Maybe that won't be so weird to somebody that understands how monitors work better than I do?...

Do you mean the lines around the tiles for news etc? That'll probably go away if you disable the tile

This thread is becoming far too much like work.
There's nothing wrong with Avast per se, I just don't trust any free antivirus

What do you recommend instead? I always used to use a paid one but then my go-to geek said it wasn't really worth it as long as you use common sense and I've never had any problems. |

We use Webroot at work, it's extremely lightweight and has proven extremely reliable for the approx 2000 endpoints it's installed on. £30 for three licences is decent. http://www.webroot.com/gb/en/home/products/av |
