Monitor Display Crashing/Turning one colour/Displacing
Hey there,
I've had this computer for about 1 and a half years after ordering it of PC specialist.
About 2 weeks ago after going to a LAN with my computer (i49 in the UK), my computer starting having a lot of graphical errors, where the screen would split so that the right side of my screen would appear on my left, and what normally would be the left edge of the screen would be somewhere in the middle of my monitor, and there would be a lot of static sometimes. If I move my mouse off the right edge of my monitor it would appear on the left on what should be the right of the screen. Or the screen would suddenly turn one colour, and I wouldnt be able to do anything apart from wait for the display to go back to something semi-normal or just restart my computer. I'm having trouble of getting a picture of this as when I take a screenshot, or stream my monitor display, it doesn't show any of the errors at all. (SEE IMGUR LINK AT THE BOTTOM)
My monitor display hops around between the problems above, I think when I start doing more intensive things, like playing games like Starcraft 2 and League of Legends, it increases the chance of the display crashing. The only solution I have found so far is to restart my computer (sometimes by just holding the power button if the screen is one colour and doesn't change back to a semi normal display after a bit).
On startup the screen is back to normal, but then it always starts happening again, sometimes after only 5 minutes of using my computer, sometimes after an hour.
I've tried using a friends monitor and the same thing happens, and I tried using a different VGA cable, and the same thing happens, so it isn't my monitor or VGA cable that is the problem.
I've also tried rolling back my graphics card drivers, and updating them, to no avail. All of them are up to date now.

This is a very confusing image. I'll try and explain what is happening. So this is a screenshot of my display - which does not show anything weird happening, but weirdness IS happening. In the screenshot, I am running OBS and pointing a webcam at the screen. Now in the webcam image, you can see my taskbar ( I have it vertically on the left side of my screen) in the middle of my monitor display, if you look at the top left of the taskbar you can see the minimize, maximise, and close program options that should be in the top right corner of my display. After taking this screenshot I started running more programs and trying to tax my computer so it would glitch a bit more, but it just went one colour and I had to restart my computer.
Do any of you know what is causing this problem, or how to fix it? I realise this post is pretty confusing, sorry about that. Thanks in advance!
