    Hi,

    When I connect an external display to play a game (half life 2 is the only one I have installed) the external display has a lot of vertical lines and runs ata guess estimate 25 FPS, however without doing anything but unpluging the display the game goes back to silky smooth FPS with no shear.

    I pretty much formatted 2 weeks ago installed a new bios and updated graphics driver, I am not sure where this could come from.

    use single display performance mode and only use your external monitor for the games, not both @ once =P
