    Lines on Screen

    Anybody know what’s going on with my monitor or PC? I have these flickering vertical lines everywhere. Ive tried restarting, unplugging the monitor, and just about everything. Sometimes after a restart, or just randomly, they will go away. Also sometimes in full screen applications the lines go away. If anyone knows how to fix this that be great, its so annoying!

    what are your PC specs?
    and GPU specs?

    but your graphics card would be the first thing to look at.

      Gpu: Nvidia RTX 2060
      CPU: Ryzen 5 3600
      Mobo: Aorus x-470
      Monitor: MSI optix mag 24C
      16gb of RAM
      And I could find any more specs if you need them

        take out the graphics card and wipe the circuitry and the mobo slot with a soft bristled brush.
        if you could get your hands on another card (neighbour, friend, family, work) before forking out for a new one, that would be a good test of the theory the card has failed.

          Alright, thanks for the advice mate! I really hope that it isn’t the graphics card

            it doesn’t even need to be a good card, just anything to prove the point.
            if the mobo has onboard video ports (and the CPU allows it) even try plugging the screen in those.
            that will eliminate the screen and cables as potential causes.

                Welp… just tried it with a mac, and the monitor does the same thing. I also unplugged the monitor from any pc and pulled up the menu and it was still doing it, so I think it must be the monitor. R.I.P

                  any chance it’s under warranty still?

                      how old is it?
                      MSI do 3 year warranty’s in case you weren’t aware.
                      check the manufacturing date on the label on the back.

                      you may get lucky.
