White lines on my screen after 30 minutes

[veltoc]

So i built a nee rig and just downloaded windows and the. Started downloading overwatch and when i came back 20isj minutes later my screen looked like https://imgur.com/gallery/AdBBW

i also attached the file, gotta make sure it goes. 

 

A friend suggested it could be a bad seating or driver. Had to run so haven't tested anything

Could be artifacting from a bad GPU. Reseat it and if it happens again, return it.

What is reseating?

[userzero]

Remove and re-seat the GPU is what he is saying. As you said seating earlier... but I think you meant sitting.

 

The pic is unclear however... is this a laptop or a monitor?

monitor, so like dissemble and redo the paste? or take it out and replug it? is there a good chance this is a driver or no

[userzero]

Paste? On your GPU cooler? No.

 

Re-seat is literally removing, sometimes cleaning a bit, and putting the card/device back in.

 

You'll need to list your full system specs if you want somebody to help you through troubleshooting.

 

Re-seat your video cable too, both ends. Does the screen flicker/change when you wiggle the cable around when it's on?

i did that one when trying to get windows to install (turned out to be a corrupted file)

it does a bit, i even switched cables tho and it still showed. whats the chance of it being a driver?

[userzero]

Well you can just try to update the drive, or roll it back within your device manager etc.

 

If it persists then the monitor has an issue I'll say unless you have another monitor to test your PC with?

the monitor worked as a second monitor on my laptop for over a year, and like i said this happens after a bit. when i was having issues with windows and left it running i got lines of vertical green dots

[userzero]

I'd try another monitor firstly to see if this happens again because I would say RMA your graphics card if it does it on another monitor. The dots is a bit of a GPU artifact warning yeah.

thank you for the help, we tried everything suggested and I had someone who knows a bit more about what they are doing in a video call and they were helping and in the end agreed that it was dead. I grabbed a few pictures, Thanks again.
