I was browsing the web on my desktop and my screen randomly turned orange.
It looked like this
I could hear my music playing in my headset so the desktop seemed to be running fine. I plugged the monitor into my laptop with a different cable and the monitor worked fine. Plugged it back into the desktop and got the orange screen again.
I did a hard reboot and now it works again.
Any ideas what happened? Has anyone seen this before? Is it a bad cable? Bad graphics card?
I was gifted this desktop so I don't know it's whole history. It's old and I already had to replace the bad RAM. The GeForce driver is up to date and the temps are normal.
