Recently re-installed windows on my desktop and the graphics are now really jittery. I had a video card installed on it to allow 2 monitors to be run but can't find anything for it.
i realise i need to install the driver for the card but i can't see the name in device manager it only says VGA controller which i believe is the generic version is that correct??
bit vague i know but any advice would be gratefully welcomed

yeah was hoping to avoid opening it up, lazy sod and pretty clumsy so likely to smash the motherboard. |

ok now installed the driver and set up the 2 monitors but one is going to standby. i have changed the connections over at the back of the box and still the same so doesn't look like a dodgy connection.
Any ideas?

have you swapped cables around in the ports (at PC end) to see if it works in the other port?

Ha a new monitor you mean?
don't think so the monitor worked fine a few days ago and like i say when i boot i get the windows logo etc so it is ok must be something missing somewhere.
