Hello,
I was using the computer, and all of the sudden the monitor had lines throught the screen. They kept getting bigger and bigger, and there were boxes, and mouse trails, etc. I didn't know what to do, so I restarted the comp, but now there's no picture at all. The monitor turns on (and i know it works - i tested it on another comp) and displays a blank bluish/grey screen with nothing on it.
I don't know much about computers at all, but this same comp had a similar problem before, and when i took to to the shop they said the fan was dirty, and cleaned or replaced it. So I took out the video card, but the fan wasn't really dirty at all. Do I need to get a whole new card?
PLEASE help me. I am at my wits END. Having to deal with piece of crap computers (i'm living abroad right now, and these locally assembled computers are causing me so much grief)
p.s. I can't take it to the shop until monday, because it is holy week and they're all closed. But I really need this comp up and running ASAP.
*cries*
