You should try another monitor, or test this monitor on another system to make sure it isn't the monitor going bad.  You may also want to try an AGP card in place of the onboard video, in case the onboard video chip is going bad.

Thank you. I don't have an AGP slot nor a monitor . Is there any other way to tests the monitor. Do you think I could get an pci video card?
Avatar of CallandorCallandor🇺🇸

Yes, if you get a PCI video card and turn off the onboard video, you can verify whether it is the onboard video that is faulty.

A desktop computer is a personal computer designed for use at a single location due to its size and power requirements, usually by one person. The most common configuration has a case that houses the power supply, motherboard, disk storage (usually one or more hard disk drives and optical disc drives); a keyboard and mouse for input; and computer monitor and printer for output. The case may be oriented horizontally and placed atop a desk or vertically and placed underneath or beside a desk.
