hey so a few days ago i was playing league and my computer had been overheating and surprise surprise it crashed but it took a long time to start up again and when it did it looked like it was in safe mode (with all the thumb nail massive and the start bar) so i went to switch it off of safe mode but it was not in safe mode so i tried a few things to see it i could sort out the resolution and aspect ratio (updated drivers messed around with monitor settings) so i restarted it but it did not come back on the monitor said no signal detected so i tried a couple of other monitors none of witch worked after messing around with it for a while (switching it off and on again) it finally worked but was still in the same distorted mode i went on google to see if there was anyone with similar problems but it said that the page i was on (www.google.com) had been hacked and i was at risk of losing passwords ect if i continued i scanned my pc and it found nothing. since then i have switched it off and back on but could not get the monitor to pick up the signal. i have replaced the CMOS battery and cleaned out the pc (with a can of compressed air) i am gonna call a guy to fix it on monday but between then and now i might as well try to fix it so if anyone has any suggestions that would be great also i am not very good at fixing computers. thank you for reading :)

Sounds like the video card is dead. Overheating is always bad, next time consider replacing the coolers or add some coolers to the parts that are overheating. You could try to reconnect the video card to the motherboard and check the monitor cable.

yeah i have tried both of those using several cables and have check and reconnected the cable, the odd thing is that every now and then the pc will come on the monitor and will still be that weird resolution, im gonna call a guy on monday, thank you anyways
