I currently have an Alienware Aurora A4 which I have had for about 5 years. However I have started to get problems with getting display on my monitor.
The problems arose when I was playing Black Desert where the PC then froze and went to Blue screen which has not happened in quite a long time.
The computer worked fine the next day but after a few hours the display then started to flicker black and green artifacts appeared on screen. I restarted the PC but after loading past the BIOS the monitor didn't display any signal.
I have tried reseating the card but nothing has changed, the card appears to be spinning but the monitor shows "no signal." It boots past BIOS but the display seems to lose signal as it loads to the login screen which I assume is a cause of the graphics card.
As I am not very experienced with computers I am curious if maybe I have a problem with my card or if it's just passed it's life expectancy.
Any help would be appreciated.
