I have a BenQ 144 Hz monitor, which has been working fine for me the last 2 months. However, today, fraps had an error when I tried to boot it up while a game was running, and then alt-tabbing to the game to see if I could use fraps right away or if I had to restart. Just then, my entire screen started flickering colors. There was no details left, just a lot of color bars flickers, repeatedly switching from purple, white and blue.
At first I thought I busted my GPU or something, but then I saw my secondary screen was still perfectly operating. So I tried restarting. No luck, main screen still broken. So I opened the NVidia control panel on my secondary screen, and tried changing a random setting on my main screen. I put the refresh rate to 120 Hz, and boom, now it works again. I tried putting it back to 144 Hz as well, and then it just started flickering once more. So apparently, the 144 Hz setting on my screen is fucked up now.
Does anyone know if I can fix this, or is it a hardware fault? In other words, will I have to get a new one on the warranty?
