Monitor gone wild on SAMP!

Most likely your Graphics card is overheating, thus causing this issue. Make sure it's cooling is still functioning properly and wether or not it's active or passive cooling.

He is correct. Just do one thing, try to arange one porrable fan, switch on the PC and put the near the graphic car. This will help to cool the graphic car.

One question, is your PC in such corner where you can't get wind? If so, just try your best to move it in the middle or a place where you can get wind.

And one more thing, if it does not work, just try to switch the ports of the vier, which is connected to the moniter.

Adding a cooler to specifically blow the air at your GPU can f**k up your case's air cooling system, which can do more harm than good. Yes, it may lower the heat in the GPU, but do consider your other parts too. CPU is above GPU trying to blow the air out, if you have a fan blowing upwise towards your GPU, obviously it will also blow the hot air from the CPU back at it rather than away from it.  Then again, if you have a fan miraculously put between the CPU and the GPU to blow the air towards your GPU, it'll take the hot air from the CPU and blow it to your GPU which, surprisingly enough, is not a good thing considering you're trying to cool it down.

Computer cases have a air cooling system designed in them already, adding a cooler where it does not belong will do more harm than good in the long run if you do not know what you're doing.

Me, being a certified Systems Engineer I can say that A) its your monitor or B) its your graphics card(GPU)

I think its the GPU that got f**ked up,cause he tried the monitor in another PC and it worked perfectly.

It's the GPU's fault. I don't really get handy on this, so... Anyone knows how to remove it, if possible so i can cool it ? It's been two days that the GPU is not being used. How much time does it need to cool off ?

[Devin]

A GPU won't retain heat like a stone left in the sun, if it's off for an hour or two it would be relatively cool within that time-frame.

If you can try to test another GPU in your PC (AFTER cleaning the PC from dust) to see if it's really at fault (read; use some shitty GPU that is little to no importance to you incase if PSU is fecked)

That also depends on your setup. Some custom-built or unusual pre-built systems will have the air flow going in different directions, (or more commonly with cheaper pre-built companies, the system won't have any air flow path defined at all).

As long as you are not disrupting your existing cooling system, you should be fine to try using a fan on it. I would highly recommend, though, that you use one large enough to cover the entire computer. I would also recommend that it be a fan with enough power to push the hot air back out of the system, since you would be effectively countering the air flow path otherwise. Most standard table fans in a decent size should be good enough to do this.


Just remember, this should not be used as a permanent solution. If your system has cooling problems, you need to address them right away before you damage the computer.

An average computer should never require a household fan for cooling, especially if the case already has pre-installed fans.
The only time it would require more cooling is if there happens to be a hardware issue which is limiting/disrupting the standard cooling techniques/methods.

Or if the hardware manufacturer is very cheap, such as the case with many Dell computers. :P

Hey guys,i just want to tell that stivi changed his GPU since the old one was fucked up,yeah it was not the monitor problem but GPU problem which is now solved.

I guess stivi want to close this topic but anyway let him make the decisiound

RIP englizsh

Lock please.

Thanks for the help!
