Monitor Problem **HELP**

[hassan78659]

Hi, its been over a year since i bought my new graphics card, since then i have purchased a DVI cable which worked fine for couple of months. Then i start experiencing problems like when i switch the computer on, i have weird lines appearing which then i have to disconnect the DVI cable and then reconnect, then it works. Sometimes i hear weird sounds but don't seem to know if it comes from the graphics card or the monitor. The monitor is old. It accepts DVI and VGA, when i had VGA it worked fine. But now i'm getting frustrated of doing the same thing every time. My PC Specs are:Intel i7 3770 Processor16GB Ram1TB Hard DriveGPU: Gigabyte GTX 660 OCI was hoping to get this issues solved as soon as possible. I was also thinking to purchase a DVI to HDMI if that would solve the problem. So i would connect the DVI to the monitor and HDMI to the Graphics card. Please let me know as soon as possible.
Thanks, Hassan

Have you overclocked the GPU? Has the monitor been damaged, bumped or dropped? You also say the monitor is old, which could mean it is now beginning to fail.
