Question What is it called first, and what is causing this

[ben2bad]

I'm using a HP f2105 display utilizing DVI I'm also running an extended display utilizing HDMI and there is no problem with that screen. I don't know if my problem is hardware, software, or memory, worst of all I don't know what you call this problem but I took a screen shot of it, if I right click the desktop and choose change resolution and perform the resolution change it goes back to normal. I hope I can leave a screen shot picture of the screen messed up. If I were to describe the screen it would be a gobbly beloved patriot of different colors or what a child would color in his/her coloring book if he/she had never colored before. It very seldom happens but it's been doing this for years and I am curious.

Have the GPU drivers been updated?

Have you tried another known working video cable?

Have you tried swapping monitors to determine if the problem follows the monitor or stays with the computer?

Is the GPU fully and firmly seated?

This used to happen years ago whenever I would watch a movie on Crackle, it doesn't happen on my flat screen television and normally everything is fine so the drivers and all that are fine, I'm thinking could it be heat from the display, sorry it took so long for me to reply was switching internet service provider. I can't simply upload a jpeg to the forum,I would need a third party program to upload the picture to so I could send utilizing http protocol and this is really an intermittent annoyance that doesn't warrant that amount of time and I hope I didn't waste your time. I've wanted to know the answer to this for years.

At this time three things are needed:

1) A clear understanding of the problem(s) being experienced.

2) Full system hardware specs and OS.

3) Do post some relevant images.

I didn't want to post this until I figured out why I wasn't able to post a pic
imgur.com/gallery/OvcV0bt I had an ad blocker on and turned that off and was going to attempt to post to see if that was the problem

It has been about 11 months.

If you are still having problems then I recommend that you open a new post to update the problem(s), the system specs, and the environment accordingly.
