I have some strange computer problems that started 2 days ago. I need some fix help...especially for the bolded item. Any suggestions y'all could provide would be greatly appreciated. thanks
green line running down the right side of my screen when I print screen, the line doesnt show up. Sounds like an issue with my monitor, right? I only thought this shit happened with CRT's but this is an LCD monitor that is only 4-5 months old. What the hell? Is there any way that it could be a non-monitor related issue? Also, I have a replacement plan on this monitor (thank god) so if it is that, no worries. secondly, stuff on my desktop is acting goofy. One program wont open at all and if I save a pic to my desktop it wont open with windows picture viewer. If i right click and open with another program, it opens fine. I dont know if I got a virus or if my hard drive is starting to fail. Initially, I thought hard drive, but the pic opens just not normally so yeah... Also, items on my other hard drive are acting weird. If i drag files to another folder, it doesnt display them properly. see pic. documents on the right middle part of the folder are sitting on top of other items. What the fuck is going on?  I detest most anti-virus software out there except for trend micro, but i dont have the money to buy that. Anyone know of some free virus scan software... trend micro used to have a virus scan for free, but I could only get the spyware scan to run the other day. For some reason, my computer wont let it do a full scan. Weird. Im just baffled by all these problems happening all of a sudden. Im actually starting to think that my video card may be going out now that I think about it. Could this be a possiblity? Thanks guys |

Eh, if the green line doesn't show up when you print screen it could either be a bad monitor or a bad video card. You might try either hooking your computer up to a different monitor or your monitor to a different computer to find the problem.
Remember that there is such thing as a defective monitor, so just because it's new doesn't necessarily mean that it's not the problem.
