Q: Screen/ Display Problems- maybe hardware related?

Nov 8, 2012 8:05 AMby Grant Bennet-Alder,That sort of problem correlates with a graphics Hardware problem.
It is possible that if your graphics card is clogged with dust, blowing out the dust and allowing it to stay cool will resolve the problem, but I would not get my hopes up.
The Apple 5770 works in all Mac Pro models, about US$250. Do not buy a non-Apple version, as it will not show a picture under Mac OS X.
