Red screen monitor what to do

The monitor is one of the most important devices for working with a personal computer. With the help of it, all the necessary information is obtained, which is in the system unit. Sometimes a situation arises that his monitor fails or starts to work incorrectly. For example, stripes of different colors may appear, arranged vertically or horizontally. The reasons for their appearance are few. This is either a problem of the monitor itself, or a malfunction of the system unit. In any case, the red screen must be removed.

REFERENCE! Before proceeding with the search for possible problems and solutions, it is advisable to connect the screen to another system unit. This will help narrow down the range of possible causes.

There are several types of screen defects:

• Stripes of different widths located vertically or horizontally;
• Only half of the monitor display is displayed. It can be either the right or left side;
• The image has ripples;
• White or multi-colored stripes: yellow, red, pink or black;

IMPORTANT! To identify possible causes and choose the right way to solve them, it is very important to know exactly which defects are present, how the strips are located and what color they have..

There may be several reasons for the appearance of this defect. All of them are divided into hardware or software. That is, some are caused by the breakdown of some component of the computer, while others are caused by the absence or errors in the software.

The main reasons include:

• "Motherboard". Usually the board breaks due to defective manufacturing. As a rule, failure of the motherboard only in extreme cases leads to the appearance of stripes on the display. Resistors located on the motherboard may also break;
• Matrix. This device is quite fragile. Excessive air humidity or mechanical stress can lead to its breakdown;
• Graphics adapter. The video card is responsible for transferring pictures to the display. The adapter, like any other component of the system unit, is subject to various negative influences and may break. Very often it overheats or becomes clogged. Sometimes during operation, wires go off;
• Plume. The picture on the laptop screen is transmitted using a cable that is connected to the motherboard. Very often during operation it is pinched, which causes mechanical damage;
• Missing graphics driver. Problems with them arise after reinstalling the operating system or incorrectly performed installation;
• Incorrect device settings. This may be incorrectly set display resolution or settings that are performed on the device itself;

Some problems can be fixed by yourself. What to do?

• Drivers If the source is missing or incorrectly installed video card drivers, they must be installed or reinstalled;
• Monitor resolution. If the culprit is incorrect settings, then you must set the resolution recommended by the system;
• Video card First you need to make sure that the reason is in the graphics adapter, for this you need to put it in a guaranteed working system unit. If the stripes are saved, then the reason is precisely in the graphics adapter. The device must be carefully inspected for possible accumulation of dust or contaminants. If they are present, carefully clean the card. If these manipulations did not help, the adapter should be taken to the workshop or buy a new one;
• "Motherboard". In case of failure of the board, you will not be able to do anything on your own and you will have to contact the service center for help;
• It is also worth checking all the connections. For example, the appearance of stripes may cause a poor connection of the mouse and the connector on the system unit;
• Plume. It is quite difficult to repair at home. Therefore, you should turn to professionals;

If none of the options helped either the monitor or the system unit is already old, then the easiest way is to purchase a new device.
