Default Monitor problems

I dont know why but suddenly im having monitor problems. My screen starts messing up when i play games, it shows weird stuff. After a couple of minutes in a game, colorless squares start to show at random spot on my screen. Then more and more squares come, but in differnet colors. Then at one point my screen is filled with squares, and i cant see good cuz it makes everything blurry. This started happening weeks ago, and i had this monitor for awhile now. So is age a problem, or weird virus or something? I really want to fix this.

It may be your graphics card overheating, especially since it is only when playing games.

Agreed, I suspect it's a card issue. Most cards will give you temps under advanced proporties, so maybe play a game for a bit(until these problems occur) then ALT-Tab back to the proporties screen and check your temp...

Different drivesrs couldn't hurt, either.
