I purchased an AOC i2367F about a month ago and about 4 days ago my friend gave me his old PNY GTX 650 1gb. Not even 24 hours after I install the graphics card my monitor begins to display waves on the left side of the screen. The pixels on the left side are also darker and have a red tint to them. If I leave the monitor on and I dont change what its displaying for maybe 30 minutes, it will then have that image imprinted on the left side of the monitor (this is with my On-Board graphics). I switched to my onboard graphics and have since disconnected the monitor. Im now using my tv to display everything and am worried that it might have been the Graphics card that caused everything. Before I replace my monitor and reinstall my graphics card, I would like to see what you guys think it might be. I dont want to be stuck with another broken monitor and if its my graphics card i'm willing to buy a new one, its just not a purchase I would make if the card isnt what caused the problem.
