Fuzzy screen

ryanmj · 31 May 2009 at 22:31

I came back from a weekend away and I tried to turn my computer on, and it has gone fuzzy, text unreadable and impossible to use. I tried reseting the bios but no luck, does anybody know what I should do?
(I didn't really know where to post this)

That does look to be a GFX card problem, maybe it's dying. Have you got a spare card to test in your pc or try your card in another machine?

I would personally describe that as a little more than just 'fuzzy'!

Follow this advice though, graphics card would be the first thing to try when you have a problem like this.

I will try this in a minute and see what happens

Edit: I don't have a spare card lying around, I'll have to buy a new one...
