I just turned it on this morning and it was doing this shit. Tried restarting and it's almost worse now. I don't have another monitor to test with at this time since my other one is about to die and wouldn't be very reliable.
Here's my specs:

[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;46816167]You tried updating drivers?
Cleaned the dust around it?
Did you bump it at all recently?[/QUOTE]
No to all three. I'm gonna try the drivers first since the GeForce shit says there's one ready. I'm not really up to driving through the snow to get a can of compressed air right now but I will if I have to. The only thing I've done that could have bumped the tower was moving my 360 but I didn't knock into it at all, I'm certain.
If it doesn't show on a screenshot (which gets grabbed straight from the GPU), it's likely a problem with your monitor
And since the screenshot you posted looks fine I'd check the connection first then try a different monitor if you can

Actually I took a screenshot of a steam chat window. That's the worst offender by far.

The picture looks clear on this end, so Thunderbolt is probably right - it may be a problem with your monitor.
[QUOTE=~Kiwi~v2;46816245]That looks pretty normal to me actually.
Uhh
Check monitor connection. Reset monitor to factory default.
I'd still update drivers, remove dust, reseat the gpu.[/QUOTE]
Yeah fuck, I just linked that to a couple friends and they said the same thing. I'm testing the connection between the GPU and the monitor and making sure they're tight. Something may have jiggled loose.

Looks perfectly normal to me, it'll still look bad on your screen if your monitor's busted :v:

Yeah, I'm gonna say it's the monitor then. Good thing I was going to costco anyway I guess.
If you're using a D-Sub/VGA connector for some reason, press the "Auto" button on your monitor, that'll fix it

If not just try a factory reset or fiddling with your monitor settings. If you're planning to get a new one anyway may as well see what you can do to get that one to work.
I just tried fiddling with the settings, flipped through the power save/movie/etc. settings and it still has the purple static to varying degrees. I just picked up a new monitor though so hopefully that'll work. Thanks for the help though everyone, it was very appreciated.

Yep, it was the monitor. Just got the new one all set up and installed and it's working like a charm. Could a mod please lock this?
