Hi
So my pc was recently shipped to the UK from Norway and was somehow damaged in transit. Basically, if I stand the tower up then I get strange lines on my monitor and I can barely see the screen, which is obviously gpu related, but if I lay it on it's side (mobo flat on the floor) it works fine (odd crashes with screen turning white, but very rare). Trouble is, now I've noticed the usb ports (keyboard/mouse) and onboard sound keeps failing.
Do you think my mobo is dying? I'm hoping that it's not a gpu related issue and it's just the mobo as obviously this would be a cheaper fix and my gpu is barely a year old (i also can't return it as it was bought in Norway and would cost a small fortune to fix/send/sendback).
If it is my mobo, does anybody have any recommendations or a new one? It's a GA-P67-DS3-B3 but I'm pretty sure these have been discontinued.
