Do larger monitors tax the power supply, memory, and processor considerably more than smaller monitors.

Asked by ciavala in LCD & Plasma, CRT Monitors, Video Cards

Tags: MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION

I have just recently been getting a MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTION error on a PC I built myself so all of the parts are just 6 months old.  I luckily stumbled on to the problem I think when I took the PC to my work bench and hooked it to a Dell 15 LCD, I didnt get anymore Blue Screens.  So I figured it was the old 21 Dell CRT monitor that was the problem.  I bought an Acer 22 widescreen LCD and hooked it up and got the machine check blue screen again - hooked it back up to the little Dell monitor and it works just fine.  So my question is: are the bigger monitors taking up that much more resources that I should start troubleshooting maybe from scratch and look at memory, power supply, etc etc. or just assume the video card is the problem.  Oh by the way it is a GeForce 7300 GT PCI express video card.  Start Free Trial
