Screen Half Yellow and Flickers on and off

BillGaming23

Hey guys, so I recently got a PC from my grandmas friend that is moving. It still had the plastic on it and everything,but I got it all set up and the screen was Half Yellow and had Black flickering problems. I switched monitors and it continued to happen. I cant find much about this topic so im hoping you guys can help me. I tried VGA and DVI to both monitors, with no luck.

Is your display cable plugged all the way in? Common problem with VGA when they aren't fully plugged in is seeing your entire screen a tint of one color from my experience, otherwise GPU is probably dying, maybe a bad cable?

Ok guys don't wanna be that guy who bumps his thread, but I got no where and I took pictures for you guys. I pushed in my DVI cable so much too and tried other ones.

Oops there we go

Have you tried connecting something else to the monitor? Like an Xbox or PlayStation, and try connecting the PC to a different monitor.
