Cold-Boot Pixel Effects

Posted by Mike Haller on Monday, January 12. 2009 at 20:06
The Lenovo S10 workstation seems to have problems with the graphics card when cold-booting. I have to restart to get rid of screen glitches (some tiny rectangular spots, randomly located on the screen). Don't know yet if it's caused by the board, the adapters, the monitor or the graphics cards. I'm sure it's a hardware thing since the OS didn't even boot yet when they appear. And they're there right after the signal comes to the Eizo L887 display, which then powers up. Or perhaps it's my old DVI cable?
