It wouldn't be the monitor, it says Windows is crashing.
no it doesn't
I'm assuming he's just holding in the power button to make it turn off rather than doing it normally, which would be why that safe mode thing appears

Definitely sounds like a graphics card issue. If it's overheating it would be very helpful to open up your computer and get some compressed air or something to clean the dust out. Look for a little fan and try to carefully pick out the dust, it should run much smoother if that's the problem

You prolly fried your gfx card, give your computor to a tech specialist or some repair guy of sorts
that sounded weird i cant speak today sorry
It may not only be the gfx card, it might also be the whole chipset or even motherboard

It could be a large field of issues, however none of them are issues with your monitor.

Seeing as you provided the information that Windows has no bluescreen then it is not a fatal error, so that means it is something to do with your display device.

If you're using onboard graphics, this is the time where I tell you, your graphics have died and you need to purchase a dedicated card

If you're using a dedicated card, I'm going to tell you that either your motherboard PCI port has failed, your drivers are having issues with the card (very unlikely), or the card itself is beginning to give out.

The first thing you want to check is the temperature of your graphics device, if you say that you can reboot and the issue fixes itself until another strain, it could easily be your GPU overheating and not turning itself off like it should, so monitor the temperatures until it does the issue again.

Also try finding the latest stable driver for your card and installing it fresh, not overtop of the current drivers, there are many tutorials on this, so I won't go into detail with that

Finally, depending on the age of your computer, see if the hardware is still under warranty (supposing you haven't broken warranty agreements), and try to get the card replaced



If your PC box knocked down accidentally (you know where you insert CD's and disks and USB drives), then it could of done some damage to the graphics card. It has happened to me before and I got the same thing coming up on my screen randomly, and each day the screen got worse until it broke after a week of the PC box knocking down and we had to get a new PC (not the monitor). We could of gotten a new graphics card instead, but it costed half of what the regular PC costed which wasn't worth it. It was a lot more reasonable to just get a completely new PC.

I'd like to add on to this. If it is a dedicated card than try reseating it. Also try blowing out the PC.

threatening the computer seems to work for some people, so I suppose I can see the merit in rewarding it instead
