So just about 10 minutes ago, my screen started to fuck itself. Pics attached, any suggestions?

Having this fixed ASAP would be very nice.

While writing this, my screen decided to stop displaying red entirely, only blue and green.

Pretty sure it has all to do with my GPU messing up, I don't think it is my monitor.

Is it overheating? I had a pc that did weird shit like this. After about 2 weeks it stopped working period. You may need a new monitor.

1. Cord is loose.
2. Driver fuckup.
3. GPU is overheating.
4. GPU is dying.
5. Monitor is dying.

In no particular order of probability.

Unplug the cord going into the GPU and monitor and dust (using compressed air or something) both ends of the cord as well as the monitor and GPU's ports.

Although unlikely, reinstall GPU drivers.

Use speedfan or something to monitor temperatures, be sure GPU isn't getting stupidly hot. To precursor this, be sure the computer's been shut off for at least an hour or two.

Plug GPU into different computer, see if problem persists.

Plug monitor into different computer, see if problem persists.

try another monitor while its still hot. If the same thing does not occur, its the monitor. If it does, its the video card.

It might be your GPU is loose unless your card is like integrated.

You should do a print screen and post a screenshot of that.

Elpacco what GPU have you got?

And which company built it?

I'm almost positive it is the GPU.

I can't get into BIOS because, for some reason, the monitor has never displayed anything until the logon screen (was planning on asking iTz SWAT about that, as he has the same monitor), but I don't think that the monitor is the problem.

GPU temps were normal, about 70 C (the 4800 series are really hot cards), and there were no loose cords. I'm on a different computer right now, and I'm planning on taking out the GPU so it'll just run on the integrated again.

@ArcaneKnite: PowerColor ATI HD4870

edit: Oh thank god, it is the monitor. I'm running on my integrated card now, and I still have the same problem. Believe it or not, I am much happier now knowing it is the monitor, because this is a sort of bad monitor to begin with, and I now have an excuse to buy another.
