My video display started going wacky just a few moments ago, expanding the page vertically and every once in a while, all I could see were horizontal lines that replaced the display. That was happening on and off, and I turned the PC off and blew out the dust and crap from everything, hoping that it was just dust causing the card to overheat, though my sensors were not telling me anything about overheating. I was mostly sure it was the card, and I was imagining myself having to replace this thing that I only just bought a few months ago. I was really hoping that it was not the HDD.
However, when I turned it back on and watched, I still had a screwy display and decided to wiggle the monitor cord. The cord was tight, but the monitor messed up big time. I tapped the side of the monitor and got the same result. It appears that the monitor itself is gone bad because any movement of it causes the screen to screw up, and sometimes the screen screws up anyway.
Looks like I finally got my wish for a new monitor!
(No, I did not purposely sabbatoge it, but I did think about it before)
So...any recommendations? Pending that I will be able to read your replies today...
