Hey guys, I recently got a new computer and it was working great. I moved it to the lounge, set it back up and it was showing blue lines/ red dots on screen, followed by display driver crashing and BSOD.
After an hour of tinkering and reinstalling drivers, doing sys tests and video mem tests, I discovered a half plugged in data cable at the monitor end. (yes I should have checked this first and i'm a dumbass) Pressing it in seemed to instantly fix the lines and dots.
My question is: Could the loose monitor cable really have caused the display driver to crash, and blue screens? I never knew this was possible, hence not checking if the monitor was at fault earlier.
Any feedback would be appreciated and hopefully make me all the little wiser! cheers!
