Re: Mersenne: Prime95 causes screen jitters

Hi Russel,

Assuming its not AGP, see if moving the graphics card to a 
different slot further away from the CPU helps.

Also, try moving the monitor away from the CPU.  Does it get 
better?  If possible try a different monitor cable with better 
shielding.

Hope this helps,
Alan

Mersenne: Prime95 causes screen jitters

2000-02-06 Thread Russel Brooks

I've got my friend's 450MHz PII Aptiva with 256Meg ram running Prime95
under Win98.  I'm seeing minor interference on the display when Prime is
running.  If I stop Prime the interference stops.  Not much else is
running 99% of the time so it's an ideal GIMPS machine but I'm bothered
by the affect it has on the display.  I've tried all kinds of different
resolutions and sync rates but the ONLY thing that seems to affect it is
whether or not Prime95 is running.

Any ideas? ...suggestions?

Cheers... Russ
