Fluctuating Brightness Video Output & CPU Over Temperature Error
This new 24 inch curved monitor works just fine when I checked it by connecting with my laptop, but whenever I connect it to my old custom built PC, the screen dims randomly since the BIOS, goes dark and flickers between dimness & brightness and shows moving horizontal black lines and sometimes the screen blackens completely for a long time with like 5% brightness barely enough to shut my PC down.
With my laptop, I witnessed full optimal brightness but not seeing it with my custom built PC now (I saw it lit up bright in the first couple of days though).
It worked perfectly well for the first couple of days but after that this problem started.
Also when I connect it with HDMI cable to the HDMI port in my graphics card, it doesn't detects it but the system starts. Should I try HDMI 2.0? Will it be a sure shot option or is it some hardware fault in my system?
Thirdly, the resolution of my monitor is 1920x1080 but my Windows 7 shows the maximum resolution as 1600x1200. How can I get maximum resolution here?
Quality-wise some HD content looks a little grainy.
Also, my custom built PC gives CPU Over Temperature Error & Overclocking Failed every now and then, sometimes very continuously. It seems to me that the CPU Chassis fan is probably not working properly even after I tweaked the BIOS settings. At times, the CPU temperature just keeps on increasing. I have not overclocked my CPU yet & tried reseating everything but to no avail. I don't know what to do now.
To sum up, my system has these 2 main issues :
Random dimming of screen and brightness issue
CPU Over Temperature Error
I tried cleaning the dust and also unplugged & plugged some connections in my system but no luck.
Please tell me what's causing these problems and help me solve them ASAP.
Thanks, I'd really appreciate your help in this matter.
