30" HD Apple Monitor leaving ghost images and vertical lines

I have a Mac Pro Gen 1 with ati 5770 HD video card runing Snow Leopard. My 30" HD Apple Monitor will flicker and leave verticle lines and perstent ghost images from closed windows, even during shut down.  Some times it will flicker back to normal, but then it will flicker back to leaving verticle lines and ghost images.  I have tried using a different video card, same issue, nothing changes.  I have tried instaling new video drivers and using old ones. I have been using the ati 5770 HD for months now without any issues.  How do I fix this?

If two different cards produce the same results then I would think its your 30" display which is failing.
Update:
I just noticed in your sig you are using 10.6.8.  There are some threads about video problems (flickering, not sure about vertical lines) with 10.6.8 (google "10.6.8 flickering site:discussions.apple.com").  So if you boot from your installer dvd which presumably has an older version of OSX (10.6.4 maybe?) do you still see the display problems?
Another thought - would an smc and pram reset affect anything?  You might give it a try too.

  • Grey screen no apple followed by blue screen with vertical lines. Graphics and logic board replaced 6 months ago. What to do? I held down shift, it gets HOT HOT and makes noises. (for safety mode) followed by a blank grey screen and blue screen

    grey screen no apple followed by blue screen with vertical lines. Graphics and logic board replaced <6 months ago. What to do? I held down shift, it gets HOT HOT and makes noises. (for safety mode) followed by a blank grey screen and blue screen. Then tried the other way (sorry, I think  it's command alt delete? I don't remember) and it turned from grey (no apple symbol) to blue blank. Then third time, grey followed by blue with vertical lines, not blocky clear lines that you can see if you are close to it.
    Thanks for any help!

    You have to take the computer to the Apple store to have it checked out.

  • Pdf files print with horizontal and vertical lines

    All of a sudden, today, when I print pdf files, they print with horizontal and vertical lines.  I thaught it was the computer or printer. So I printed from another computer on the network, and printed to a different printer with the same result.  It is not just that one pdf file either, I have tried multiple files.  HELP.  Does anyone have any ideas?

    It is not clear how you are creating the files. It appears that they were created by Distiller from PS files that were created in some way. I also noted that you are using AA8.1.0. You may want to try to update (do all the updates in order) as a possible fix. It may be in the creation process also. Several packages will split large graphics into parts and create the image. I think this is a characteristic of OFFICE 2007 (docx) files - but I am not sure yet. Tell us how you created the files - step by step, including the scan.
    If you have the original documents, why not simply print to the Adobe PDF printer. The result would be smaller and a lot cleaner.

  • One of first versions of macbook air with black horizontal lines on bottom one third of screen and vertical line also one third of left side of screen

    one of first versions of macbook air with black horizontal lines on bottom one third of screen and vertical line also one third of left side of screen

    Hi
    I've recently notice I have a thin black line in my screen.. I went to Apple store and was told it’s a hardware problem (400$+ to fix as no warranty).
    This is the second time I’m having hardware screen issues with a Macbook Air (last time it was 3 months after I bought it, and it was replaced with this one)
    Looks like the Macbook Air screens are very problematic!  Anyone experience something like that?
    Thanks,
    Eyal.

  • Table data needs to be displayed with horizontal and vertical lines

    Hi,
    I need to display the data of the table in the SAP script which is having both horiziontal and vertival lines.
    the out put needs to looks as it in Excel...where there are multiple records with 5 fixed coulmns each seprated from one another by horizonalt and vertical lines..
    Can you let me know how to proceed in SCRIPT ,,,, where the number of records might vary ..and also ..it might continue to second page..
    Regards
    Senthil

    well it is possible but quite tricky.
    All you got in SAP-SCRIPT to achieve this is the BOX-Statement.
    The BOX statement works with variables for XPOS, YPOS, WIDTH and HEIGHT. what you need to do is:
    - calculate those variables during runtime
    - add box-statements with those variables.
    to calculate those variables you need to count used lines and so on. i hope i showed you a way, rest is a lil brainwork then.

  • CRXIR2 - A chart with horizontal and vertical lines?

    Good morning,
    Is it possible to create a chart with horizontal and vertical lines?
    I have a chart where the Y-Axis show the percentage and the X-Axis shows a timeline.
    The horizontal line shows the percentage for the points in time.
    Now I would like to mark some special points in time on the X-Axis with a straight vertical line.
    Is there a way to do that?
    Thank you very much in advance

    Hello Usama,
    unfortunatelly I couldn't find that that feature in the basic chart features.
    Also the webpage www.3DGraphics.com doesn't exist and I had no luck to google for 3DGraphics.
    It's a little strange, that it seems to be possible to draw one additional horizontal line with the basic features, but no additional vertical line.
    for example.
    If the main chart would be y=3x+1
    It seems to be possible to draw e.g. y=5
    But I see no chance to draw x=5
    In addition, to make it a little more complicated, I would need to have that dynamically, based on the values of a sql-statement.
    thx

  • IMac won't go past apple logo screen and vertical lines on display

    I have an old white iMac that won't boot. When booting up the screen has vertical purple lines and I can see the Apple logo. The little "dial" just spins and spins. Does anyone know how to fix this? thank you for any and all help.

    The vertical lines are indicative of a hardware problem. It is possible (likely) that this is also related to the inability to start up as well. It's almost impossible to diagnose and explain repairing hardware in these forums, so I think it best if you take the computer to a repair shop that is familiar with Macintoshes.

  • Can't fix jagged images and horizontal lines when scanning

    Hello, I just bought the HP Envy 5660 and it prints fine but scanning is horrible. I keep getting jagged and horizontal lines after scanning. They came out fine a few times but even on 300 ppi it looks bad. Please give me some advice. Thank you.

    Hello Hulkamania,
    Welcome to the HP Forums.
    I see that you are having some issues with the scan quality with lines and jagged images.
    I have seen this issue before and I was able to resolve it quit easily by doing one simple step.
    Please make sure that you have the printer power cable connected directly to a wall outlet and not a power bar/strip. Here is a document that uses a LaserJet printer as an example but it is meant for HP products in general. Please click on the following link that explains the Issues when Connected to an Uninterruptible Power Supply/Power Strip/Surge Protector.
    Use the ON/OFF button to do a proper power cycle on the printer once it has been connected to a wall outlet.  This will do a Semi Power reset on the printer.
    Try another scan and let me know how it turns out.  Try multiple scans if you like.
    Thanks for your time.

    I was a happy user of outlook express, but now I got a new PC with windows 8 which does not support OE.
    I am a Thunderbird newbie and it is extremely strange and frustrating.
    Why not to offer all possible choices, options, and settings to make it adaptable and easy for each user with particular needs or preferences?
    I would gladly pay $50 or $100 instead of wasting 20 or 30 hours trying to find a way to bypass weird (to me) restrictions or missing settings.
    If OE resolved the problems, it should be possible to resolve for Thunderbird creators too.
    I am grateful anyway for the free app but I may need to waste even more days experimenting with other email clients.
    Trying to solve the problems I found that other Thunderbird users have been looking for the same solutions on the internet for over 8 years or so!!!
    Another huge problem of the TB is difficulty of getting a full HTML source, editing it and easily switching to text mode back and forth.
    And finally why not make every piece of text in any spot of the entire TB copy-able (let us copy any words or text anywhere in the TB and then paste it to a message). For example I can set up and see all headers ( view ... headers..... all ) but I can not copy/paste them into the message from which they were removed (why?).
    If Thunderbird creators ever read this, here is an offer or kind request. Pls create a better Thunderbird version with features and options given above, consult other users, search the Internet to accommodate a few wishes of many others. And offer a paid version of the Thunderbird. I think hundreds of thousands of unhappy users would buy a better mousetrap, or in this case, a better Thunderbird. The news will spread like a thunder all over ....
    It is a win-win-win opportunity to make everybody happy, cut wasted time, improve experience and satisfaction, and make $$$$$$$ at the same time!

  • Horzontal and Vertical Lines won't get thinner then 1pt

    I've been working with illustrator for years and never came across this problem. If I make perfectly horizontal or vertical line I can't get line weight lower then 1pt. If I rotate the line just by 0.1 degrees then I can make the like less then 1pt. When I rotate the lane back to perfect 0 or 90 degrees then it automatically changes the line weight back to 1pt. Has any one else had this problem?

    Wow, I was messing with this problem for hours and didn't think of that. Thank you

  • Line chart and vertical line repeats according period

    Hej,
    I have line chart and horizontal axis displays many months, thus is possible to vertical line from horizontal axis be displayed after years period and be color diferent?? My example, start displays January 2007,......finish December2007->DISPLAY VERTICAL LINE as LONG TICK, start January2008....and so on... is possible to set such repeater for line chart...thank for response.

    Hi 1234alex,
    According to your description, you want to create a non-vertical target line in top of bar chart to show different target.
    In Reporting Services, it’s impossible to create a non-vertical target line in top of bar chart. Because StripLines can only return a vertical target line even we put expression to make it dynamically . In this scenario, we can show the target line as values
    and use switch() function to specify different values based on different category. Then we just need to change the chart type for that series only. However, it only support horizontal line chart type in Reporting Services, so we suggest you use column chart
    instead of bar chart. Please refer to detail steps below:
    1. On Chart Data region, set an expression looks like:
         =switch(Fields!month.value=”A”,”4”,
         Fields!month.value=”B”,”8”, 
         Fields!month.value=”C”,”2”,
         Fields!month.value=”D”,”5”)
    2. Right click expression in Chart Data region, choose Change Chart type, select a line chart.
    3. Click Preview, the results look like:
    If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
    Best regards,
    Qiuyun Yu
