Hi guys. I have had my computer for four years and this is the first time it has given me problems other than a power supply I had to replace last year. It first happened while I was playing a game which has run fine on my computer before. Suddenly the screen kind of burned out with a purple edge and it faded to black around the right corner of my screen. I thought my screen had burnt out, but the monitor turned out to be fine. However, while the monitor was plugged in, it remained black. My computer was still on, as I could hear music, as well as close the game I was playing, and even managed to blindly find the shut down button and turn off my computer like that. When I restarted the monitor turned back on and it loaded up fine. About thirty minutes in it did the exact same thing. This has continued all day, no matter what I do, even in safe mode. I have tried replugging in all hardward and cords to my mobo. I have dusted everything, and it is completely clean. I tried using a single stick of memory in each of the ram slots, and there doesn't seem to be a problem there. I'm not sure what else to do. Can anyone offer me some suggestions or advice? Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance.
