A computer is a technically incredibly complex device in which even a small breakdown of one part or a disruption of contact with other elements leads to disorganization of the work of all equipment. Quite often, even a practical new PC refuses to work properly, and a vertical bar appears on the monitor. From what it happens and how to deal with it - in this article.
Why did the vertical band appear on the monitor?
Of the most characteristic reasons can be identified:
- damage to the video card;
- violation of the connection of cables connected to the monitor;
- malfunction of the motherboard.
What if there are vertical bars on the monitor?
The most common reasons for color vertical bars appear on the monitor are not related to software, to all kinds of viruses and drivers. Most often, the monitor is adversely affected by the faulty components of the computer or the whole point of their incorrect interaction with each other. When conducting diagnostic activities, it is first necessary to exclude the incorrect operation of the video card. It is necessary to check how it functions, in what condition the cooler is on it, whether it is dusted. Based on Aida's temperature, it is possible to determine if overheating has occurred.
All available dust must be carefully removed, cleaned of all available connectors. By the way, from time to time cleaning from dust is necessary for the entire system unit, all trains, a fan and other elements. It is necessary to exclude at any one time the breakdown of this or that equipment, installing them on another working computer. That is, to check the operation of the video card on another PC, then every loop. If knowledge allows, then you can independently replace them with new ones. The appearance of a vertical strip on the LCD monitor may indicate a malfunction of one of the internal devices, namely the motherboard.
If some tracks and connecting elements are blackened, and the resistors are swollen, then no knowledge and skills here will not help, it is necessary to change the motherboard. To carry out its diagnostics by own efforts too it is impossible, therefore it is necessary to carry the PC in the service center. In the appearance of a vertical strip on the monitor, you can blame the burned chip driver, although this is quite rare. In any case, to troubleshoot problems it is better to contact a specialist who can accurately determine the cause and give advice on the future, how to handle your PC, so that this no longer happens.
