This started hapenning when I was playing a game. PC froze and red dots started appearing on screen. If I pressed CTRL-ALT-DEL immediately I could've stopped the process. But whenever I started playing, 2 minutes in and it happened again. Eventually it would BSOD with a message about atikmpag.sys failure.
After a restart, there were two thick, vertical red lines on screen, even in startup bios screen.
Then I couldn't even boot it up because it automatically went into BSOD. So, I started in safe mode . Safe mode had the lines too. I uninstalled and deleted the graphics drivers from device manager While doing so, I've noticed there's an exclamation point next to my monitor name. I don't know what that could mean, since I'm not sure it wasn't here before.
I rebooted again and the lines were still there, but it booted into normal mode. The resolution was off and I changed it. Then my monitor went blank with "Mode not supported" message and now it won't show me the screen after the initial login screen.
I don't know what to do anymore. It's probably my video card failing, but it never showed any issue prior to this one.
