Just over the last day or so, my DVI connection to my monitor has been giving me green and purple lines all over, almost like screen damage. I"ve tested it out on a few other monitors, and found the problem is coming from my pc itself. The DVI port looks a little rough, but it has all the holes and stuff, except for some damage near the bottom. However, its worked before until now.
When I use VGA on a different monitor (my 144 hz doesn't have a vga port), its fine. Its only the DVI that's causing issues.
I have another DVI Port higher up on my machine, but it doesn't work ( I assume because the gfx is connected to the lower one. Does anyone have any recommendations? using hdmi gives me 50 htz, which sucks, so i cant just do that.
I wanted to try to move the gfx card up behind the other dvi port, but there's no room and I'm not nearly experienced enoug

black dvi port is one one with the issue.
Any help would be awesome
EDIT : I've used 6 or 78 dif DVI cables with the same result

Yeah your GPU's DVI port looks pretty bad. The mobo port isn't even dual link so I don't think there's any way to push 144hz through that.
Also, don't listen to the Imgur guy saying to get HDMI to DVI - you won't be able to get 144hz through that either. I would recommend getting a replacement GPU. I don't think trying to clean out the port will solve the problem.

FireThe upper dvi port is your Motherboard port so it won't work with a graphics card. You should also Test different dvi cables if you didn't do yet, when it's defenitely your PC that produces the problem chances are high that the card is just kill.
The VGA port works fine which means the card should be working fine too. It's either my eyes or the quality of the picture, but that DVI port doesn't look healthy and so the card should probably be replaced due to the damage on the port.
Kayflay, can you confirm that my eyes are not deceiving me when I look at this area?

This looks like some physical damage and if any of the tiny metal contacts in the individual squares are missing you're gonna get visual problems like the lines you are experiencing.

You can't move the gfx card up.

The black DVI port is part of the card, it's soldered on. Also the gfx card goes into a slot and there are none further up (since the CPU sits there) only further down.
I don't know how you managed to do it but your DVI port is FUBAR

Did you stab it repeatedly with a screwdriver? I've never seen this kind of damage.
If you're careful you could get the bent/ripped plastic out of the way and bend the pins back so it might work. Maybe get someone else to do it.
Replacing the complete port is possible but if you have to pay someone for it then depending on what GPU that is a whole new GPU might be cheaper.

Yeah, thats what I thought was the issue. There is physical damage on that right side. I'll head over and get a new card. Thanks for the help
