[gentoo-user] Is my video card or motherboard going?

[Joseph]

All of a sudden I've noticed strange green color around all the letters
and icons on desktop, some object have vertical green stripes.
Would it be an indication that motherboard or video is going?

This bos has ASUS A7V8X Motherboard and GeForce4 MX 440 AGP Video card.

what type of monitor are you using? can you test that on another box to see if 
it gives a good picture? Also does increasing the colour saturation on the 
monitor make the problem significantly worse? Make sure there are no new 
speakers or magnetic things too close by.

Five rules for eternal misery:
	(1) Always try to exhort others to look upon you favorably.
	(2) Make lots of assumptions about situations and be sure to
	    treat these assumptions as though they are reality.
	(3) Then treat each new situation as though it's a crisis.
	(4) Live in the past and future only (become obsessed with
	    how much better things might have been or how much worse
	    things might become).
	(5) Occasionally stomp on yourself for being so stupid as to
	    follow the first four rules.

It seems to me you were right.  The problem is with monitor, this is NEC
18in LCD monitor.  The good thing is that it just happened one week
before warranty is about to expire.
