I dont Know if this is the right topic for this problem but please help.
I use three monitors to play COD and other games and today suddenly all of them went blurry.
I tried searching on other forums but I couldn't resolve my problem.
It's Not Just The font, its everything for example search box in start menu, desktop icons, desktop background etc.
I had an old Sony monitor so I tried Replacing on of the monitors with that but it didn't help.
I also tried replacing all three HDMI cables but nothing happened.
Please help.
Thanks in advance

If you feel competent enough, shut down the computer, turn off the power at the wall & removed the power cable. Then remove the cover & the screw securing one end to the case & unclip the lock at the other end of the card carefully remove the graphics card. Remove any dust & fluff with compressed air, taking care not to spin the fan with the compressed air.

Then carefully reinsert the card making sure it is seated properly. Re lock the plastic clip & replace the screw & then the computer cover.

As all 3 monitors are affected the graphics card is the most likely problem. If cleaning & reseating the card does nothing, then the card may have developed a fault.

Open device manager to see if there is no driver issue.
Try to see if Windows Update didn't "update " the graphics driver.

I was referring to your System Specs for my Post, as they show an NVIDIA GTX 1080 graphics card, so I assumed you could remove & clean it. So you must be referring to a different computer.

Follow Megahertz's suggestion & yes there was an NVIDIA graphics driver update in the last Windows monthly Roll up Update, so check to see if you received that.

Thanks for help.
Updating drivers didn't help so I separated all the inside parts (I was wrong My Graphics card is not onboard)
(I have a custom Built PC My Cousin built)
The Problem Was that my ram (DDR2) Was Faulty and had a lot of dust on it.
I reseated every part one by one and found out that reseating ram helped.
And yes I had already installed the driver (I use IOBit Driver Booster 9 Pro)
Thank you everyone for helping.
Regards

We have seen a lot of computer problems related to the installation of various IOBIT software. I would recommend that you uninstall all IOBit programs. In fact it is possible that your blurry monitors may have been caused by IOBit.

I totally agree with Ranger.
Any thing in any way, shape or forum by IObit is going to cause problems. Sooner rather than later. Sometimes they are so drastic that a Clean Install is needed.

IME, any such Third Party Driver Update programmes are a complete waste of time if free, and a waste of time and money, if paid for. I recall a few years ago, installing such a "Free" progaramme, which checked all my drivers and asked for a payment to update them. Since then, I always trust Windows Update or the hardware/software manufacturer, for updates. Which, of course, are free.
