Hi guys, so my monitor started having these two blue thick vertical lines and afterwards the screen just goes black.
I have tried unplugging all the cables and the GPU and re-inserting back in but to no avail. Is the graphics card the issue here or issit my monitor? I don't have an extra monitor or GPU to do troubleshooting tho..

GPU - powercolor 7950 3gb pcs plus
Monitor - Dell U2312hm 23" IPS
Rig bought in 2013.

Oh ok managed to use onboard graphics to test, and the lines were gone! Unfortunately warranty expired already.. means now need to hunt for new GPU~ :)

powercolor cards always die just after 3 yrs, my 7850 also like that.
