And because my usual CRT is now dead, my backup one, a shitty SHITTY piece of shit 15" shitblock uncapable of anything better than 1024x768@60 is about to give me a skull-numbing headache courtesy of eye strain.
So now I need a job for another reason, y'know, besides chronic boredom and lack of money. Today started out so good as well.
</rant>
Anyway, I turned it on this morning and instead of working, like it was last night and has been for the last ~5 years, I get a corrupted rolling screen with "signal out of range" in nice big letters. From what I can tell, it's just completely fucked and adding to the list of things lately that are driving me slowly in-fucking-sane.
I restarted my PC, switched the monitor on and off, hit keys, moved mice, opened my PC and checked everything's dandy with my graphics card, tried another monitor (before the one I'm currently using) which worked fine.
Interestingly enough, the monitor I just declared "completely fucked" works on my brother's PC... eventually. Actually he just moved his mouse and wahey, wonderful colours. I'm not as surprised at this as I could've been - my monitor and GPU have had hissy fits / disagreements in the past, but only when switching screen resolution (in a game mostly) back to 1280x960@72.
Le sigh. Just thought I'd share. I lied earlier by the way, today has been bad news since minute one.
