Dell 3007WFP - Missing every other pixel
Hello,
Recently when I booted up, I noticed my monitor was missing every other pixel. By missing every other pixel I mean every other line vertically is black and every other line horizontally is black. On the normal resolution that I've been using for a while now, 2560x1600, text has become unreadable.
I changed nothing in my setup between when the monitor worked and when it did not work. Since then I have tried changing the DVI cable to a different one and I've tried plugging the DVI cable into a different port on my video card, but neither method helped. I tried plugging in a different monitor (a Dell 1901FP) and that monitor has no problems. I have also tried downloading the latest drivers for the monitor. Nothing has worked.
Can anyone help me out?

Please post a picture of this issue.
Does the issue occur on the bios boot up screen or in safemode?
* Power off the PC
* Power off the monitor
* Disconnect the power cord from the monitor
* Disconnect all monitor cords from the PC video card
* While disconnected, press and hold the monitor power button down for 3 seconds
* Reconnect the DVI cord from the monitor to the PC video card
* Reconnect the power cord to the monitor
* Power on the monitor if it does not power on by itself
* Power on the PC

In case you're curious, yes the issue was there on the bios screen. I did not test it in safe mode.

I had that exact problem with my 3007WFP monitor and Chris M's fix did the trick ! Quick and easy. After quite a bit of frustration from my own attempts that just narrowed it down to the monitor as the problem. Thanks Dude !!! I'm great-full.
