Computer monitor broken?

Is my computer monitor broken?

  • My computer monitor will randomly get these multicolored rectangles that blink and make this annoying loud hum noise. I then have to shut my computer off manually. The monitor will also go black sometimes for a second and then come back. Whats wrong?

  • Answer:

    First disconnect the monitor from the system and you will get a self test screen on the monitor check if you have the multicolored rectangles there If u get them when the monitor is disconnected then its a problem with the monitor.Secondly,get to the system setup screen or the BIOS and check whether you have the multicolored rectangles there if u have them there as well then its a problem with the CPU(video card or the monitor) As you say that it makes noise i don't think there is a problem with the software.

Well, this could be the monitor failing. Or it could be your Video card failing. I recommend borrowing another monitor and using it for a few days. If the problem is still there, it is the video card. If not, then your monitor needs to be replaced.

I would say that your monitor is failing but i would try another before i could be sure.
