Hey guys, trying to figure out if the issue I am having is GPU related, connection relation or monitor related.

I have a dual monitor setup using the following:

Windows 7
AMD FX 8120
8GB of RAM
GeForce 2047MB GTX 650

I am having an issue where the monitor attached to the mini HDMI will go out for a second or two, and then come back, and then sometimes have red lines that come through the entire monitor, briefly and then disappears.

Any advice on how to check which it is?

Hello... Yes... The Substitution Method requires what you have on hand ( or Borrow or Store Returnable ) and your Wallet... But can be very Quick and is Plug and Play results... B )
Hello... You have what is called the " Subsitution method" trouble shooters tool... You try to either move the problem or isolate the problem between componets, By changing ONE thing at a time.
1) switch monitors between cables.
2) switch cables between monitors
3) try a New cable to the problem monitor.
4) Switch Video cards.

Yeah this seems logical, but Im dealing with limited resources as my other monitor doesnt have the same connection. I will see what I can discover using a different monitor if I can get the right connections.
