Are you using the built-in video card? (Is there one? :tongue:)

Try a different video source and see if that works.
 
ye there is a video card .. geforce 8800 gts. I don't think its because of the video source.
 
Why not? It can be the video card. Only way to find out is to try another card.
 
I think it is the video card.. My 8800 GTS did the exact same thing ;)

damn.. i tried another monitor fyi and same thing and i tried my laptop with the monitor and it was perfectly fine. So atm it is the video card. Is it dead or just dusted up?
 
Probably one of the IC chips on the card gone bad but we haven't checked the slot and you need another card to do that.
 
just put another card in and the computers perfectly fine again

so is the card dead? or should i give it a go at fixing it?
 
Like I said, card is dead or dying. Not really much you yourself can do to fix it.. If it's still under warranty (XFX and EVGA have lifetime warranties, if you registered it, that is), you can get it replaced. And since I doubt they'll have that card anymore... it would probably be upgraded to an equivalent card by nowadays standards.
