Whats going on with my moniter?

[Lego lad]

Recently whenever I play a game, it runs perfectly normal then my monitor goes all:


Then:


Then I have to turn my computer off and on for it to stop.
then this happens:



Then it starts up fine and I open my game again, and the cycle repeats.

Games it has done this with:

Blockland

Warframe

I am running windows 7 on a Dell computer


is it my Monitor's fault or my PC's?

It's not your monitor, it's your graphics card failing.

Check if the monitor plug is alright, is it dvi or vga or if it uses an adapter like VGA to DVI

What's most likely is that your graphics card is overheating and failing. Try downloading Speed Fan and running this alongside your game, then telling us what temperatures you see next to GPU.

It wouldn't be the monitor, it says Windows is crashing.

specs refer to the parts your computer is using.

start->run->dxdiag

100% this.

I wonder, if you alt+tab out of the game, does it still look the same?
(Just press alt+tab once)
Anyhow, i think it is indeed your graphics card as you don't get a bluescreen or anything else.
Have you downloaded the latest drivers?

This seems like a graphics card issue.
