Re: Horizontal Streaking on Monitor

Sounds like you are getting some noise either from a bad cable or from the 
motherboard itself.  I would try a different cable and if you get the same 
result, try re-seating the card, or moving to a different slot, if possible.

Most of the problems I've seen like this when using KVM switches
are due to flakey cables usually el-cheapo KVM cables.
