Not responding

I had changed the monitor & cable to the one I'm using now, after the video card check, and just before you had me do the stress test. It had changed nothing. I find if I leave the pc on, and come back a few hours later, the bars are gone, but they come back when I use the pc for a bit.

Most of my clues lead to defective monitor. Doesn't mean it's going to die soon, it's just either old, has bad capacitors, or needs repaired.

DragonMaster Jay, I'm sorry I have not been on line. My wife went suddenly in to the hospital of 11 days, and I been taking care of her.

I changed the monitor and cord, and it still was the same. the bars are completely gone now.
My pc seems to be getting the "Not responding" again, everything is slow to load. I get it alot in my "Yahoo mail" and the last couple of days, my mail has been sending out e-mails that I didn't send. I been getting a bunch back that say, from- "MAILER-DAEMON@yahoo" subject- Failure Notice.

Today the red bars on the monitor returned.
