The past few weeks, I've been experiencing a blurry/fuzzy screen display. This usually happens when the PC has been on for a while. My first thought was the monitor, as it is slightly damaged. So I have ordered a new one, but it's one week until delivery. However, after all the reading I've done - and temperature checking, I'm wondering if it isn't something else

I have tried taking a screenshot of the blurry screen, but it doesn't show up at all on the screeny, just appears normal. I did find a picture online which does look the same as my problem, only mine isn't as bad as this: http://i51.tinypic.com/b3pher.jpg Although I have to say, it does appear to be getting increasingly worse.

My graphics card when active (i.e. surfing/gaming) goes into the sixties. From what I have read, this is normal.

My CPU however goes ino the sixties also - and this isn't healthy is it? Here's a link to a screenshot from Speccy, but these are temperatures pretty much at idle (just browser open): http://oi50.tinypic.com/i3xawy.jpg

Yes, I have taken off the side panel from my PC - it's constantly off. I clean it out regularly with compressed air and I can see and hear the fans working properly. I did use MSI to manually increase the fan speed on my graphics card, as by default it was only at 25%. But I didn't notice that making any difference so reset it to default.

Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks all.

I'm not sure if this helps the situation any, but I just ran and Resource and Performance Monitor. It's telling me some drivers are missing? News to me! Would this be anything to do with the screen problems I'm having?

I have no clue to what devices this is referring either

Thanks!

If the screenshots don't capture it, you should not worry. It's either the cable (which is very cheap, around $5-7), or the monitor, which will be arriving to you soon.

Well that's a big sigh of relief then!

The monitor was my first thought as it is damaged in the bottom left corner, but has continued to work perfectly well for a while now.

But, on monitoring the temperatures, I wasn't sure that a new monitor alone would sort the problem. I feel better now! At least I know I haven't wasted my money.

I know the rest doesn't belong in this forum, but is a MOBO temperature of 60 deg C+ something to worry about? And this above about missing device drivers? If it's no biggy, I'll let that all drop for now =p

Thanks again! much appreciated =]

60°C is nothing. You should not be worried until 80°C.

Happy to hear that too!

Thanks very much, your help is appreciated
