Green/red pixels across monitors, then screen freezes

Hi
any ideas?
pc (OptiPlex 420) starts up fine then double monitors break out in pixel measles and pc becomes unusable. Only solution is to hard stop the pc as keyboard/mouse die.
Restart creates same cycle again. I'm a luddite, so if any brain boxes out there can advise (and thanks in advance if you do :)
cheers
Chris

  • My user log in ID is frozen, I log in and get in but then screen freezes.  All other user ID's are okay.  What can I do as my id is the Admin User.

    I have my Imac set with 4 user IDs.  I do not have any problems logging in with three of the user IDs, but when I try to log in under my ID which is the Admin ID  the screen freezes once I log in and I cannot close or open any thing.  It begins by trying to open Skype and Messenger...then it gets frozen and I cannot close either or cancel and nothing works.  What can I do or what it is the problem? HELP!!!

    This next part is relatively advanced.
    If you are not comfortable following these steps on your own you may wish to make an appointment with a Mac Genius at an Apple store, contact AppleCare via phone, or contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance.
    As you don't have any other Admin accounts we will have to work from another account:
    Start from your Mac OS X 10.6 Install DVD.
    From the Utilities menu, choose Reset Password.
    Follow the onscreen instructions to reset the root password (the root account is not the same as your account). Specifically: Select the name of the drive that Mac OS X is installed on, select the user named "System Administrator (root)" from the pop-up menu, type the password in the first field, re-enter the password in the second field, then click the Save button.
    Quit the reset password utility
    Quit the installer
    Click "Startup Disk"
    Choose your Macintosh HD and restart
    At startup click on "Other" and login using the name "root" and the password you choose in step 3.
    Once logged in as the root user go to Macintosh HD > Users > Your User Account > Library -- Rename "Library" to "Library old"
    Restart the computer and login to your Admin account and see if you still get the spinning wheel.NOTE: Do not open the Mail program as renaming the Library has temporarily removed your settings.  Your dock and desktop pattern will look different.
    Once logged back in to your user, see if the items that were missing from your desktop have returned.  Also check in iPhoto to see if your pictures are there (assuming you use iPhoto).  Check iTunes to see if your music is there (when you open iTunes it will ask you if you want to search for music on your computer…say no for now).
    Let me know the results before we proceed.

  • 'Normal use' ok ; Gaming = Graphics 'snow' and then Screen Freezes

    History is that I'm a PC convert from Nov 05, and happy with the move. Played Civ IV and WoW without problem until around Nov 06. Then Civ IV started crashing; Screen got 'snowy' graphics and then froze. Was within warranty at that stage . Lesson to be had here in extended warranty. Didn't make much of this because I was finished with these games anyway, and 'normal' applications and internet etc use have been fine all along & still are, so just stopped gaming. Now (Feb) decided to get back into WoW. Same 'snow' and 'freeze' problem when open this game, as well as Civ IV, including after reloading software. There is no error message, just the freeze and the 'multi-coloured circle of death'! Things I've tried;
    - Apple Software update
    - Apple extended Hardware test; passed all
    - Clean re-load of all software
    - Reset the PRAM
    - Minimised the performance settings for WoW, including running in a window; this has extended time before crash from a few seconds to up to several minutes. Not long enough to get to lvl 70!
    - Checked that my model doesn't fall under any extended warranty's!
    - Downloaded and run 'Rember' = "All tests passed."
    - Downloaded 'latest' ATI Radeon drivers from their web (were very old & not a direct match so not sure that this was of any use)
    Below is 'stuff that might be helpful', including the log!
    Idea's anyone? If it's something wrong with the graphics card then I'd like to know 'for sure' before forking out for a replacement. Other stuff to try?
    Thanks, Mike

    Yes, it smells like the video card, because it only crashes when running the high-end graphics. Presumably this is because only the games use the video card; if it were another piece of hardware then normal applications would crash too. And because I've done a clean software reload it shouldn't be a software problem.
    However, I'd still have liked some greater certaintly before replacing the video card, e.g. some type of hardware test. I don't want to replace the card and then find that I've still got the same problem.
    I don't get a grey crash screen, it's just stuck on the distorted last screen shot, with the twirling multi-coloured circle. Then when I turn off the mac it goes black.
    Know of some way to 'test' the video card?

  • Event 123 - The DSM service was delayed by nn seconds for a driver query/download/install on device then screen freezes

    The reader's digest version of the saga is I received a Dell Vostro 460 with a wiped disk. The PC emitted beep code indicating PSU or RAM issue when turned on.  After resolving the marginal power supply with a new replacement, I installed Windows 7
    but as soon as I would launch IE the system would freeze.  All of the BIOS & device drivers are current.  I tried upgrading to Windows 8 but kept getting the black screen right after the install process finished installing the devices. I had
    to resort to a clean install.  Having successfully install Windows 8.1 I have been able to a get to the desktop, however every time I launched IE my system freezes in the same way as with Windows 7.  I installed a different browser and used that
    to research the event log errors.  As the system freezes, I see warning log entries with event id 123 entries:
    Event 123 - The DSM service was delayed by 125 seconds for a driver query/download/install on device  'ACPI\GENUINEINTEL_-_INTEL64_FAMILY_6_MODEL_42_-_________INTEL(R)_CORE(TM)_I7-2600_CPU_@_3.40GHZ\_8'
    Event 123 - The DSM service was delayed by 517 seconds for a driver query/download/install on device 'PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_1C3A&SUBSYS_04AB1028&REV_04\3&11583659&0&B0'
    Event 123 - The DSM service was delayed by 106 seconds for a driver query/download/install on device 'PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_0100&SUBSYS_04AB1028&REV_09\3&11583659&0&00'
    Event 123 - The DSM service was delayed by 155 seconds for a driver query/download/install on device 'PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0423&SUBSYS_049410DE&REV_A1\4&2209AF9F&0&0008'
    There are more but these warnings are stacked in groups of two or three then the error & critical entries indicating I did a hard reboot. 
    When I use Firefox browser to open several tabs everything is fine until I stream audio/video then the same freeze screen happens and i have to reboot. Anything you can offer will be very much appreciated.

    Hi,
    'PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0423 is a graphic card driver from the vendor’s official webpage.
    Besides as you mentioned in the post, it happened when you launch Internet Explorer, there is an accelerated  Graphics item in the Internet Explorer, the settings should be changed, please follow this way:
    Go to the control panel, then select the Internet Option, go to advance, just like the screenshot below:
    select the checkbox if it is empty, anyhow make it different from the previous settings, then restart your computer to see the result.

  • EMac display has green & red blobs on left of screen and is pinched.

    Hi!
    I was using my eMac (as you do) when all of a sudden there was a loud POP! and the whole machine shut off in an instant. I thought it was a gonner, but to my surprise it powered back up but with large green and red (magenta) blobs on the left 1/3 of the screen, and also that side of the screen was slightly vertically pinched; the right hand side of the screen looks perfect and I used the machine to back up my data, all seemed fine and dandy (except for the display).
    Is it something simple? I assume the pop indicates that a component in the display circuitry has given up the ghost, but which one?

    I've now sold the eMac as a cheap working machine, the new owner knew about the fault before handing over the cash so I wish them luck with it!

  • TS3274 I have a new iPad mini w/retina display.  Recently, the screen flickered with red lines across the entire screen.  Anyway, the screen eventually went black. Now it does't work.  Anyone have any suggestions?

    My screen just went haywire.  The screen flickered with red strips vertically.  I thought it was part of the game I was operating until the screen went black and a white strip illiminated at the top.  I tried turning teh system off, but it would not allow me to turn it off.  After about 5 minutes, I was able to turn it off.  Anyone have this occur?  The Ipad mini appears to be ok now.

    I Also have this problem!!
    In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason.  At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident.  Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed.  Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
    I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees).  Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!!  Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

  • My 06' Macbook Pro crashed with vertical, green pixelated lines and now will not advance past the turn-on screen with the apple filled with green lines as well. Then, it says to hold down the power button to restart. Help?

    My 06' Macbook Pro crashed with vertical, green pixelated lines and now will not advance past the turn-on screen with the apple filled with green lines as well. Then, it says to hold down the power button to restart. I have tried several times to get it past this point but tnothing helped.
    I have an appointment at the Apple store today, but was wondering : will all of the information and files on my desktop be lost? Or is this a logic board problem?
    Any help is much MUCH appricated.

    I'm not sure, if you're out of warrenty it'll cost quite a bit for the replacement of the logic board replacement...unless you have apple care. you could ask apple to try and recover your hard drive but i'm not sure.    

  • White screen with battery with red line across- software issue

    My phone froze last week when I plugged it in for the night. The battery had been dying pretty quickly for the 2 weeks before that. So i took out the battery and put it back in and then this white screen appeared with a battery and a red line across. I replaced the battery and it still gives me the same message. I tried pluggin the fone into the computer and reloading the software from the blackberry site and still nothing. The computer is not even registering that the fone is plugged in. Help please! I am running out of ideas!

  • Is there a dark-red pixel in the middle of my ipad 2 screen, Apple Staff ignored it with rude manner.

    Is there a dark-red pixel in the middle of my ipad 2 screen, I 've just it for 6 days. After that I went the store (Thailand) to turn it, they told me that it's a dead pixel and Apple won't replace it to the new one - there must be more than 3 to claim.  How can I do?
    The store guy told me I should go Apple Service Center. The Center's staff kept my ipad and told that replacement depends on Regional office at Singapore.
    She also blame me that "Why don't you look for dead pixel before you brought?"
    What !!! Dead Pixel is the fault of Apple Factory, but she said like I'm so stupid to brought a dead-pixel ipad.
    "If you want me to do something on your case call to Singapore by yourself" she said.
    After I called to Singapore, I found myself the staff there treated me so bad and confuse.
    1. The first guy at Singapore said  "Because you 've just brought it for 6 week you can choose between replacement or refund, but leave me your numbers we will call you back."
    2. Shortly, a rude guy called me - said to me about Bright and Dead Pixel - then said "It's not our authority to replace ipad for you, you paid your money for our dealer (Store in Thailand), so you must ask for resposibility from them. "
    What !!!!! He treated me like I'm not a customer. Store and Care Center in Thailand told me it ups to Singapore, but Singapore told me not.
    Who lied? However, I'm still Apple Customer. Whatever country I brought it, I paid for Apple product. Where are thier responsibilities?
    I hope, Apple U.S. is my last resort.

    Given that you can return/exchange it for any reason within the 14-day window after you bought it, you shouldn't have any problems.
    Do you live near an Apple retail store? That may be your best bet. It certainly worked for me: I ordered mine online and when I noticed an air bubble embedded in the glass, I brought it to my local Apple Store and 15 minutes later walked out with a replacement. No fuss whatsoever.

    on start up green vertical lines appear and then they become spots covering entire screen and imac freezes, does not start. I need to do a safe boot to open the imac 2009

    Unfortunately this sounds like a hardware failure. Run Apple Hardware Test in extended modeat least 2-3 times back to back. If errors appear then you have confirmed my suspicion. However if no errors appear unfortunatelyyou are not out of the woods l yet  because AHT is not the more reliable test. If you do know know how to run AHT please refer to:

  • When I go to a website, it half-way downloads and then the screen freezes for 10-20 seconds while ads appear; this never happened till recently.

    Until recently, I loved Firefox. Lately, when I go to any website and try to download a page, the screen freezes for between 10-20 seconds while ads load. Why the screen freezes is both frustrating and annoying. I have the latest version, nothing on my computer is different, and as I said, it didn't used to do this. Any ideas what's going on?

    There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
    If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile, but be careful not to copy corrupted files.

  • I had completed my iDVD project and burned a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the project and put a red frame around the opening screen. Now when I burn the project, it no longer has the opening frame. How can I fix?

    I had completed my iDVD project, a Wedding Slideshow with pictures and music, and burned it on a disc. It worked great! Then someone messed with the original project on my computer and clicked around and put a red frame around the opening screen that has the Wedding theme with music. Now when I burn the project to make more DVDs, it burns but no longer has the opening frame. It immediately opens to the iMovie slideshow. How can I fix so I can burn the entire project with opening frames?

    As Bengt suggested make a disk image of the successfully burned DVD using Disk Utility. Then you can burn copies any time you need one.
    In the future once you have the project as you want it save it as a disk image via the File ➙ Save as Disk Image menu option.  This will separate the encoding process from the burn process. 
    To check the encoding mount the disk image and launch DVD Player and play it.  If it plays OK with DVD Player the encoding was good.
    You can then burn it to disk with Disk Utility at the slowest speed available to assure the best burn quality.  Always use top quality media:  Verbatium, Maxell or Taiyo Yuden DVD-R are the most recommended in these forums.
