Hey hey,

So today I tried connecting a third to screen to my pc using a vga to hdmi adapter. My pc started blowing hard and the screen went black. So I restated and now it shows this...
 
Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-8600K CPU @ 3.60GHz

Video Card NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1070 RAM 16 GB

Operating System Microsoft Windows 10 64-bit
 
Have you tried plugging in the monitor to onboard graphics, removing the PCI-E power connectors from the video card, and seeing if there's video to rule out a bad video card?
 
Haven't tried yet, and it's with whatever screen I use. Tried hdmi displayport and dvi. I'm on school atm, after school I can try what you told me. Need some more explanation tho..
 
The white line you're experiencing means one of two things: either a bad monitor or a bad video card.

Removing power to the video card and using on-board graphics will determine which is bad. If everything goes back to normal when plugged into onboard video (video ports on the motherboard), it means a bad video card. If it stays the same, it's a bad monitor.

Did you always ensure the cables were secure and nothing was loose?
