Bluescreen

[Grim Warlock]

Finally after about a week of getting this bluescreen I decided to disable the video card and it worked, however I still get yellow lines through the screen and everytime I touch my computer the screen goes blank for about 5 seconds. I don't know why all this bullshit is going on, it's never happened before! Anyone know what the problem is? I'm using NVidia GeForce 8600 GT. My computer's only 2 years old. Glad the bluescreen's gone but the lines and the constant screen blackouts are pissing me off.

Your GFX Card is dying...

You don't have speakers near your screen do you? If so, move them away from it.

FI touch my computer the screen goes blank for about 5 seconds.

Had this issue before had to replace the power cable. Dad had same issue and had to replace his VGA cable (hope it isn't attached).
It simply could be a faulty cable - this only relates to the lines issue.

The BSOD can be various things. Try wiping ALL traces of your graphics card and it's software and do a fresh install of older drivers (Guru3D - Driver Sweeper)
Also reinstall Direct-X, this could be causing it too.

Do you have onboard video? If so, take the video card out and use that.

//at least a new video card will be really cheap... if you're not looking for a huge upgrade

Had this issue before had to replace the power cable. Dad had same issue and had to replace his VGA cable (hope it isn't attached).
It simply could be a faulty cable - this only relates to the lines issue.

You mean the monitor's power cable? If you mean power cable for the video card, the 8600GT doesn't have one.

[Grim Warlock]

Now the screen's not working at all, it's on but it's blank.

[Phenom]

Hardware failure, possibly video card, I charge $55 an hour. Pm me.

[Grim Warlock]

Can it be due to overheating? And I checked the video card and it's in perfect condition.

[LambentHammerBurst]

Now the screen's not working at all, it's on but it's blank.

Did you change your bios setting to ensure it's not trying to display using the graphics card?

@foq - of course lol

[Phenom]

everytime I touch my computer the screen goes blank for about 5 seconds.

You mean touch the pc case? or more/click the mouse?

What type of screen and whats your full PC specs?

Also pay attention to your TEMPS. To much heat kills PC components.

How did you reach that conclusion?

[Grim Warlock]

I changed it in the device manager program.

Touch the computer or desk.

[Phenom]

Touch the computer or desk.

Who built your PC?

[Patton]

A) tighten the cable in the back of monitor and pc and check the cable for splices
B) swap video cards around
C) check monitor on a different tower (computer)
D) call ghostbusters caws u gots poltergeists
