Hi there,
The problem I am occurring is on my sisters desktop which I have decided to help her fix, but I am stumped too, so here I am asking you guys!
What is happening, is about every hour my sisters monitor seems like it's malfunctioning and just displays purple lines EVERYWHERE. Now I've reformatted her PC and installed the necessary drivers and programs etc (done it a million times before) but the problem is still occurring, even after the reformat.
I have personally tested the monitor and the VGA cable that it is connected through and it isn't that as it works fine for 24 hours + on my set up, so I'm thinking it is definitely a hardware issue.
She doesn't have a GPU, just running her VGA cable through on-board graphics.
Purpose of this thread is if anybody can redirect me to a hardware diagnostics program so I can pinpoint the exact problem and get her to replace the part so all is good.
Any feedback is welcomed!
