These days whenever I start my computer, the monitor acts like a fruittard. It randomly goes black for 10 to 30 seconds and when the image does come back it's either got green tinges appearing here and there and the pixels are way, way too visible.

Normally this goes away after a few minutes but it's been doing this for almost 15 now.

Is there a fix for this or am I going to have to replace my monitor?


My graphic drivers won't install properly btw, I kind of meh'd it and decided it wasn't worth the effort installing them properly, but maybe that's the problem?

Just test it on another pc and see if it still acts weird...

Either way, you're pretty dumb for willingly not installing your drivers correctly -_-

I'm not flaming you, just stating the facts :P

If someone comes to you to complain about his car making a weird noise when he drives and asks whether it is maybe dying. Oh yeah and he also didn't really pump up the tires or attach some of the tubes to the motor in a correct way... What are you going to say, get a new car it's obviously damaged beyond repair if it sounds weird?

well my point was that i had an inkling that this was more of a hardware problem than a software one, but i felt obliged to at least state the software situation. i'll attempt to update the drivers and get back to you guys but i'm dubious
