[Lespaul20]

Right now, my PC is acting up. A while ago i was playing a game and it just rebooted and since the video has been funny, when it boots up the text in the bio is sorta scrabled like parts of the text is move so it looked scrambled, while it was able to boot there always was funny colors ont he screen, like little magenta dots in places, ok the big thing, I went to reboot last night and it booted to windows just fine till it got to the desktop and something happend the monitor goes into standby and i can't get it to come out, I will run just fine in Saft mode and when i unistalle the drivers it will be fine until it auto intsalled the drivers, i don't know why it would be the drivers since it worked fine before. Please Help. thanks.

Try taking out the card, blowing out the slot on the motherboard and the contacts on the video card and reseat it.

If you're computer is full of dust and dust bunnies, it may be time for a cleaning ;)

Yeah it's pretty dust, i'll try cleaning it and see what happends

[Lespaul20]

I figured out that the dust wasnt' the problem or at least i know it was a bad card. I tested it in another comp and it did the same thing. thanks for the help
