literally stupid stuff keeps happening with my computer

I boot it up today and half the monitor is tinted green and the pixels aren't smooth, everything looks like it's made out of tiny squares

could be your gpu failing. take a pic of it with your phone

Tactical Nuke · February 20, 2018, 01:03:21 PM

my phone's being dumb and not connecting to my computer, so I can't upload the photo

so basically what's happening is that the right side of the screen is fine, but as you head further and further left the screen gets tinted greener and greener

if you look at it really closely it's a bunch of tiny, tightly packed green lines in a grid formation

Any form of visual artifacting, as in what you're getting, is a sign of GPU failiure.

Though if you can, remove your gpu and use your processors integrated graphics and do a FULL uninstall and reinstall of your video drivers, and see if that fixes anything.

what you are getting sounds almost exactly like what happened to me

your GPU is down to its last straw
