The video is shaking from mtherbrd connection. Tried swapping out monitors and cables with no luck. Any ideas

what connection do you use?
if this only happens when you browse web pages with java or dynamic content or when yo play games check in your graphics card drivers that you have not forced anti-aliasing, try also updating direct x

Good luck

This is an indication that the monitor is not receiving a video signal from the computer. Check both ends of the video cable - both the connection to the monitor as well as the connection to your computer's video card, and make sure that both are secure. If the connections are secure and the problem persists, buy a replacement video cable. If that fails to fix the issue, try swapping out a different video card.

Check that the "data" cable is tightly-connected at both ends (monitor & video-card).

Try connecting the monitor to a different desktop/laptop computer, to see if the monitor works at all.

Try a different "data" cable between the monitor and the video-card;
obviously, your monitor's "power" cord is working, and thus, there's no need to swap that cable.

Try connecting a different monitor to your computer, to see if your video-card is transmitting any signals.

Temporarily swap-in a different video-card, to see if the video-card is the problem.

If all else fails, take the computer to a technician at a computer-store.

hello, a problem like could be as simple as bad drivers, Bad VGA cable(bent pin maybe) or not as simple problem meaning bad onboard video chipset.
is it so bad that you can even navigate through few windows?
if so you would need to guy a cheap video card or ask a friend to lend you one so you can test before you go out and buy one.
so lets say u can read and nevigate a bit in windows: follow this: go to start -> run and type in "devmgmt.msc" (without quotes) scroll down to your video card, right click and delete your video card and restart you PC. After restart check to see if it is readable. if so download driveres here:
http://downloads.emachines.com/drivers/video/ATI_video_6_14_10_6525.zip

if not readable: get another card, go in computer bios disable onboard video, install card, plug monitor cable to new card and restart your PC when system is up install drivers for new card if required.

good luck, hope it helps.

Swap monitor for one that works on your machine?
Should be someone you know who would be willing.

Is it new?
If new ask for a swap.

F2 to open bios?

If both monitors are shaking,problem is with video card or motherboard,you might try loading specific drivers for your video card or try changib=ng refresh rates.
Please rate the solution and provide feedback.

is it a greenish blue?..... if so you have lost your red signal..... check your monitor connectors for bent or broken pins...... usually happens after swapping cables or monitors on a computer..... you could also have a bad cable or monitor..... is the monitor a CRT or a flat panel.... loss of one color is very common on CRT monitors, and could be a bad solder connection on the CRT driver board, or a bad video chip..... flat panel LCD monitors don't usually lose a color, although it is possible.... the most common failures on LCD flat panels is total power supply failure (no power at all) or display matrix driver failure (colored stripes across or down the screen), but a cable failure is also possible, like i said above, check the connectors for bent or broken pins..... there are 3 rows of pins...... at the widest side of the connector, there should be at least 3 pins next to each other on that row (sometimes there are 5), the middle row should at least have 3 consecutive pins as well (and again, there are sometimes 5) the last row (the smaller side of the connector) should have at least two (but sometimes all 5) pins in it. the first row and last row of pins should line up vertically, and the middle row is offset a half a space, so from top to bottom, the columns of pins make a zigzag...... if the connectors are alright, then your most likely problem is the monitor..... if another monitor works on the computer, it's the monitor..... if another monitor has the same problem on this computer, then it is the video card (or the motherboard's video output, which is fixable by installing a video card)
