Text on desktop looks sort of blurred. Like a printout where the ink
is running out.

I've got an ASUS A7N8X-VM/400 motherboard. PC runs Windows XP Pro.
I've just re-installed XP, downloaded the drviers from the ASUS
website (video driver, and utilities), installed both of these.


Monitor is a HANNS-G HU171D TFT.


Strangely enough, when I uninstall the Nforce2 application in control
panel the text is no longer blurred (but its terribly slow scrolling
through a doc).


Any ideas?

see the silver cooler just below the cpu

that chip has the vga built in it

and it will get very hot when vga is running

is the cooler still fixed firm..they tend to be held on with small pins

you could also try fixing a small fan to it
