Hi, I was wondering if anyone knew what exactly was up with my computer or monitor? I think I have pinpointed it to a computer problem, but anyway, here is the situation:

One day my screen just flickered bright all of a sudden. After that it would flicker bright a few more times, and finally, everything on the screen just turned greenish and fuzzy or smeared-looking. It is still this way as I am posting this message. At first I thought the monitor was going bad, so I changed monitors, but to no avail: the screen was still fuzzy green. I've tried restarting many, many times, and it is the same. I haven't placed any sort of magnetized object in the computer room, so it couldn't be that, I wouldn't think. I do have a graphics chipset on the motherboard (rather than a video card), could it be going bad? Also, my main question here, I'm seriously considering buying a new computer over this, should I? This computer is 3 years old, approximately. Thanks for your concern.

Since it is at the very least an onboard graphics chip and at the most the motherboard, I think you would be wsie to get a new system.
