monitor

When you say a black border are you referring to an area of dead space...as if the screen has shrunk? If yes, your video card is most likely to blame....it may be overheating. ATI Rage cards usually come with a pretty good heat sink on the video chip, but yours may be missing it or possibly needs a boost from a larger heat sink or even (highly recommended) a small fan. Any small CPU type fan should work. Stay cool!!! :)

Make sure you have the same drivers on the new computer, that you have on the old computer. Or make sure you get the most up to date drivers to use on the new computer. Just go to the companies web site who manufactures your monitor. Also make sure the new computer is not by anything that can interfere with it. Recently with my monitor at home I had put a small fan in the window behind the monitor to get some air circulation. My monitor started shaking when I turned it on and it took me about 2 hours before I figured out that the fan was causing it. Hope this helps.

Also check your power settings in the BIOS settings, and in the Display Settings in Windows. I have seen some monitors lose their settings after going into "power save" mode.

Check resolution and frequency (refresh rate) of both pc's.

It would seem that your monitor is not
plug and play compliant.My guess is that you
are overdriving your monitor with your new
card.See if you can get an .inf file for
your monitor, and run the ati utilities that came with your color card. rightclick on the ATI logo on the bottom right-hand side
of your screen.
