Strange & Sudden GUI Lines on Screen/Issues - Windows 7 64
Just trying to see if anyone can help point me in the right direction before I completely rear down my PC, replace components and do a fresh install.
The other day, out of the blue with no prior issues of its kind, my screen just decided to basically distort itself with lines across the screen. At first, it distorted just a little bit, then all mouse & key functions stopped responding, then the screen would flash and black out like the monitor lost it's video signal from the PC and the monitor would then display a "no source input" message, then it would come back fully distorted and a few seconds later the system dumps to blue screen of death. I can reboot in safe mode, but the screen has these lines all over it as shown below.
I'm wondering if my video card is on its last legs because I don't think it's the monitor. I've had monitors go bad and they generally just stop working one day and have never caused any other issues like a blue screen.
