hello. my monitor suddenly showed a "no signal" message. when i rebooted the post screen for the msi board inexplicably was a lower resolution. got to the grub loading screen then the "no signal" message shows up again instead of going into linux.

can get to uefi bios but again the screen's low resolution and freezes as soon as i click on anything.

tried booting from gpart usb stick. gpart boot options shows (again low resolution) then screen goes black.

is it the graphics card? ssd? psu?

edit: just remembered the power company put in a new transformer for our neighborhood last week.
