for the last few months it’s developed this fault which came out the blue and has got worse and worse.
playing videos, effects it the MOST, u can’t watch them as it flash on and off so bad.
opening pages,etc still makes it flash on and off and when the pc has been running for hours and hours it flashes on and off on it’s own.
so maybe it’s overheating due to the moderate amount of dust inside…
need help determining the fault why both my pc monitors are flashing on and off like crazy.
cables are tightly fitting and tried new ones and makes no difference.
uninstalling and reinstalling the graphics card driver makes no difference.
can’t be bothered to take it into a shop to be looked at as the pc is only worth about £150 and I can’t afford a better one atm.
especially as they charge ridiculous prices just to look at it usually.
I reckon it could be the psu on the way out not giving the monitors enough power. or the graphics card gone faulty, or the memory gone faulty.
or some software gone tits up.
or could be from the moderate amount of dust build up inside…
I do get a blue screen of death occasionally this one:
Stop 0x000000D1 DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
also got this fault: Windows -No Disk Exception Processing Message c0000013 Parameters 75b6b7c 4 75b6b7c 75b6b7c
and rarely I also get drive error, “insert master system disk and press enter” at setup. and entering the BIOS and confirming everything and saving and exiting sorts it for a while.
also I can’t enter safe mode when pressed they correct key, this pc is screwed up.
