I've just had a serious problem with my monitor, it all of a sudden started to f*** up. Right now I'm posting this in safe mode, but when running normally the screen goes all fuzzy, bit like it's artifacting if you know what that is, and then it blanks out saying "No Signal" and then comes back on and it's still all fuzzy and I can't do anything. Luckily safe mode it works alright but it's quite fuzzy but not too dramatic I can still see everything. I'll post a screen I took while in safe mode to show what it looks like(hopefully it comes up)




Please help me with this, I'm literally about to cry.

Thank you.

It's a little difficult to see as the screenshot is quite small [you could always post a jpeg as an attachment] but it looks fine here. It's more than likely that either your video card or monitor either are faulty and/or cannot handle the resolution your "normal" desktop is set to. Try lowering the resolution for a while and seeing how it performs.

Sounds like a driver problem. I've seen similar (appearance is fuzzy) with the wrong driver.

As for the going blank, Did you change anything lately?
Driver?
Settings?
Resolution?
Sync Rate?

Safe mode uses minimum drivers, including minimal video drivers (thus the lower resolution and color depth). These are usually MS provided drivers (256 colors and 800X600 resolution).

My suggestion is to uninstall the drivers, preferably, use the ROLL BACK feature if they changed lately. If not, download and install the drivers while in safe mode.

I updated my graphic card driver(7600GS) but still nothing, I don't think I've changed any settings lately this all just happened when i launched a game that I usually play it all just messed up.

Do you have another monitor to try on your computer?

nah I don't unfortunatly.

Okay a little update on the problem, when I shut down the PC and turn the monitor off and come back later it works fine for a while(About a half hour) and then does the same thing. Also I noticed it's like the whole monitor just freezes, because I was installing a game and when the monitor froze the game still continued with the install as well as everything else such as music and internet.
