Computer electronics question:
Occasionally, I'm having issues upon booting up my graphics server that colored lines form on the bottom of my screen, scrolling upward up to a limit, at which point the screen flashes and turns off. I've also noticed this can be directly induced by transmitting with my handheld transceiver next to the screen. Would anyone know what particular mechanism is triggering this event? Does it have to do with some internal capacitor getting overloaded, or something else charge-related? This is an IPS display btw

@marlyn When this happened to me, it kept getting worse and worse. Running at lower resolutions helped a bit, but then the power supply gave out. I am now convinced the graphics card issue was a symptom of the failing power supply.

Strangely enough, so far I've only noticed this issue on my linux partition? I haven't noticed anything funny going on when I've been booting up windows.

@marlyn My issue was on a box running GNU/Linux. I don't run Windows on my own PCs anymore.
