Precision T3400, Quadro FX1700, Windows 10
Hello
This is my first post on here and I am looking for advice.
I have a Dell Precision T3400 running Win 10 on a standard Nividia Quadro FX1700.
The images and text on the screen have become mostly illegible, along with vertical and sometimes horizontal lines.
I have tried different screens and different cables and the problem still exists.
Any ideas on the source of the issue please?
Thank you.

The FX1700 is a 10 year old card there are not windows 7 WDDM 1.2 drivers let alone windows 10 drivers for this card. Windows 10 will NOT automatically install Legacy Drivers. Nor will it install Directx9 and Directx 10 patches from June 2010.

Download and extract to a folder then run DXSETUP.EXE as administrator. Your issues are because the video card is using the VGA driver. You also have to go into control panel under add features to windows and re install DOTNET 3.5 and Legacy Direct show. This card is WDDM 1.0 VISTA Drivers.

What is a Legacy GPU?
Legacy GPUs are older-generation NVIDIA GPUs which are no longer supported in the regular NVIDIA Unified UNIX Graphics Driver.
Instead, these GPUs will continue to be supported through special "Legacy GPU" drivers that will be updated periodically to add support for new versions of Linux system components (e.g., new Linux kernels, new versions of the X server, etc).
For a complete list of the GPUs supported in each of the Legacy GPU driver series, see the lists below. For more information about the support timeline for each Legacy GPU driver series, see
EOL Windows driver support for legacy products
BEFORE installing this driver. You also have to add the feature back for Legacy Direct Show from control Panel. If you do all the right things in the right order it will work. Control Panel, All Control Panel Items, Programs and Features, Turn windows features on and Off,
Then do the checkboxes. You MUST BE online when you do this because it will whine about not finding the features and needing to download them from windows update.

Run these steps and post the results =
* Power the monitor and PC off
* Unplug the power cord from the back of the PC
* Disconnect the monitor from the video card
* Remove the PC case cover
* Disconnect the internal power supply leads from the rear of the video card
* Remove the video card from the motherboard slot
* Use compressed air to clean out the video card and the motherboard slot
* Reseat the video card in the motherboard slot and attach the power supply leads to the rear of the video card
* Close the case cover
* Reconnect the monitor to the video card
* Reconnect the PC power cord
* Power on the monitor and then the PC
* We never tested Windows 10 on this 10 year old PC. So reinstall the retail Nvidia Quadro FX1700 driver
* Restart the PC when done. Retest
* If available, remove that video card and test another one in the PC
