Default Monitor problems
Hey what's up?
I recently hooked up 2 monitors to my computer. I noticed one day while gaming that the secondary display( LG Flantron E2040T, newest monitor I have) did the thing old tv's do. A small little black line went from the bottom to the top, and it glitches. Now my main display does this too... Any idea what happened or what I should fix?

NOTE: My friend was trying to optimize a game so he opened ATI Technologies and tried changing the temps and fan speeds and stuff. I think that may be the problem, but, I auto configured it and it's still doing that.

Please help :)

If someone messed with the clock settings, you could be overclocking your card. Just try reset the driver settings to default (there's usually a button for that on every page in the drivers settings)

I have reset everything and it is still doing the glitching thing.
However, I noticed with a fresh startup (nothing selected on startup) it will not do this, only when AMD catalyst is open/has been open

What is a driver cleaner, sir?

EDIT: I can't boot to safe mode - " Disk Read Error "
