Flickering and Dying monitor? Help?

Dathtom · May 31, 2013

Heloooo.

So my monitor just went crazy on me, right in the middle of gaming my primary monitor (HP 23xi) changed to grey with random black bars across it. My second monitor was working fine, so I rebooted the PC (tried rebooting the monitor also).

Now the primary monitor has a slight flicker, tried different cables on different slots on my GPU. Tried changing refresh rate settings.

Just now, while I was searching for a fix the screen went grey again, then black and both monitors were randomly turning on and off (like it was switching between them, except I could only see images on the secondary one). I again rebooted.

All temps are fine, but still got the slight flicker. Is it the monitor? Any ideas would be great.

Thanks

Tom :)

Did you try set the LG one to primary monitor instead? However, I believe it's a monitor related problem.

Hope your monitor get well soon :D

Hmm the flickering seems to have stopped, or I just don't notice it anymore. If it gets worse I'll go and grab a replacement (A bonus for working in a electronic retail store - always get an exchange :D)
