Weird dots on screen

make sure your video connection is not loose on both ends

If you take a screenshot with the printscreen button, and paste the screenshot into mspaint or something, do you see blue dots in the image itself (no longer moving around and such), if you can't tell, post it here  

If there are static dots in the image itself, that means that something is probably wrong with your video card or (possibly drivers).

If there are no dots in the image, the problem is most likely the monitor itself (possibly the cable, or the connector though). Try different connectors, (ie: If you are connected to a VGA port, try switching to a DVI, or whatever is convenient) to see if it helps the problem.

For what it's worth, I have a monitor at work that does this on occasion, with green and blue dots that change depending on what is displayed on the screen (the other monitor doesn't exhibit the issue at all). If I power off the monitor, and turn it back on, it will go away usually. It's been having the problem for a few years, and it hasn't really gotten worse or better; I'm fairly sure it's the monitor itself, but I haven't spent much effort on it.

Thanks for replying.

I made sure the cable was connected and it's good to go.

I tried the screenshot trick and the dots do stay on the image. Is there a solution for this or should I just go ahead and start talking to MSI?
