The monitor does seem to be working, but once the display driver crashed and sometimes the screen flickers in divided sections like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lmgtfUbntQ This only happens occasionally when I start the computer.
The weird thing is it's a new PC from Dell, a high-end one. It had these problems, so I got it replaced, and the new computer I just received today had the same flickering problem. It is very strange as I have used this monitor for other computers within the past month and have never experienced problems before.
I feel like it has to be the monitor though, especially since when I plugged the original computer back in, the resolution was wrong. I could not fix it in the control panel. I accidentally bumped the monitor cable loose hard, and suddenly the screen resolution is back to normal.
I will get a new monitor tomorrow to test it. But could a broken monitor crash the display driver? I can't remember exactly which driver it was, I think it said Windows 8 HD, which is strange as I am running Windows 7.
Sorry for the long post. Any help is appreciated.
