    Problems started before I moved, whilst playing Guild Wars 2 the screen would sometimes flicker red, I just thought it was the HDMI. Now after I moved I finally hooked up my computer and tried to boot up, I get the Windows Vista boot logo with red static then it seems like I lose signal because my monitor has a box that switches from Analog to HDMI a few times then goes blank. My samsung monitors light blinks blue. I know my computer booted up fine because I can hear windows starting. I took out the HDMI cable and hooked it up to my ps3 and it works fine, so that led me to believe there's something wrong with my video card, but I don't know what.

    Here are some pictures of what it looks like when I turn on my computer.

    Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

    if monitor works ok on ps3 than it is your videocard. try reseating the card as might have somewhat popped loose especially during the move.

    I thought that too, so I tried reseating the gps already, but still a no go.
