I put this in the graphics cards section of the forums, because I believe that may be the problem
I am not sure how to describe the problem, but sometimes my monitor turns black then quickly changes to displaying this purple fractal-like pattern on the screen. I am assuming its a bad signal from the graphics card.
While the monitor was displaying this, I tried switching the cable to the other plug on the video card, but the monitor went black and said "no signal". I put it back on the first port and it displayed the purple pattern again.
One thing I have noticed about my graphics card, is that it gets really hot, so maybe it is the card overheating.
Here are my computer and monitor specs:
Monitor: SyncMaster B2030 1600x900 60Hz
CPU: Intel Core 2 Q6600 OC'd 2.90GHz (It was higher at 3.0GHz, but I reduced it when I got this problem the third time, and it hasn't happened since)
GPU: nVidia GTX 260
