Re: 'Wobbling' video output to screen from Asus desktop mobo

The wires to the right of the mobo are the power supply cables of the IDE DOM (Disk On Module) plugged into the IDE socket. 8GBs of poor-man's SSD, with slow transfer speeds but zero noise and low power consumption ;-) They're terminated with a standard molex out-of-shot.

I'll have a go swapping stuff round. This board has already been with a few other components and OSes (currently Linux Mint 12, previously Tiny Core Linux), but by no means an exhaustive list. I'll try it with XP and some other gear before...

Apologies for the lack of pictures, remedied below. Thanks for the replies though - very helpful.

An overview:




Squat caps close to the CPU:




A handful of caps near the northbridge:




Not sure if these are linked to the PCI slots or the audio IC:




A few more near the southbridge:




The larger caps behind the parallel port:...

Hi guys.

I've done a search with a number of different sets of terms for this problem, but didn't really find what I was after (though I'm sure I can't be the only one to have witnessed this symptom).

On an ASUS P5LD2-TVM SE/S motherboard, with a couple of different PSUs, the video on the monitor 'wobbles'. It's noticeably worse with the onboard graphics than with a GFX card plugged into the PCIe slot. One PSU (an old Dell SFF unit) made the wobbling clearly worse, while a newer PSU almost eliminated it. Having lots of video movement on the screen seems to exacerbate...

Re: New Members - please post your introductions here

Afternoon, everyone, from sunny London, where the skies are perpetually grey (well, feels like that sometimes!)

Been meaning to join for a while now, and finally found the time. Looking forward to contributing, though my experience is relatively limited (only done a few mobos and some graphics cards).

Have a good Sunday all.

Cheers, Jon.
