Yesterday I was running a pc game in the background when suddenly my screen went all blurry with white small squares on the screen. After a few seconds my monitor showed "DVI: NO SIGNAL" and in a moment it went back to normal, so I thought that everything was back to normal. Today after a gaming day without any errors I opened my graphics drivers and screen got all rainbowy and white squares were on it, after few moments like last time my screen showed "DVI: NO SIGNAL", but and it just turned of afterwards. My pc was still working just the monitor wasnt showing anything except that one message when i turned it on. So I waited about 30 seconds and nothing happened, so I restarted my pc manually and everything was ok again. No problems or anything. What do you think could be causing these problems? Thank you in advance for the solutions.

My pc specs:

Operating System : Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-4150 CPU @ 3.50GHz

Video card : GeForce GTX 750 Ti

RAM: 4GB

P.S. Im dont really know much about computer systems so if you need any info ill try to provide as much as i can for you.


 
Sounds to me like the Video Card is crashing.. since it went back to normal in 30 seconds... My guess is it may be overheating, check the fan speed*, may have a lose power connection, data connection, bad video cable, the card may be lose on the socket. If the video crash happens only when gaming, it may deffinitely be the card. If the motherboard has onboard video, try the comnputer without the video card.. card removed not just disconnected. You may have to try a different card on the computer and try your video card on another computer to diagnose it thoroughly.
