Apologies if this is posted in the wrong place.
Few details:
i7-3770k CPU 3.50 GHz
Asus P8Z77-V mobo
600W corsair powersupply
2x corsair 4gb DDR3 memory
Geforce GTX 480 GPU
Windows 7 64 bit
Recently i have been having an issue where my monitor would randomly turn itself off, so i tried using another monitor i had lying about, however this time a similar thing would happen but first there would be loads of lines of different colors appearing before it turned itself off.
I am certain that it isn't an overheating issue, an issue with the vga cable, or an outdated driver and i have tried re-seating the GPU in case it was loose. I have had this setup for about a year now and have not had any issues up to this point.
I am pretty stumped as to what the issue could be, i'm leaning towards it being a GPU malfunction but i would like to know if anybody has any other ideas and if its worth replacing my graphics card.
thanks in advance.
