My computer has started acting up. Display problems. Youtuble videos sluggish and not keeping in frame. Whole screen can go black, then full screen white. Sometimes a reboot.

What operating system are you running? Have you added any programs / utilities that might be running in background? What is the spec of your computer, eg processor, RAM etc?

If you are using Windows try running Task Manager and see what is concurrently running.

Control+Shift+Enter normally brings up Task Manager.

Windows 10. I've added no programs recently. Only thing I did recently was shut down the monitor(A flat screen TV) its connected to at the wall instead of via the remote. It's an i7 with 16 gigs of ram. Task manager comes up fine.

That shouldn’t affect the performance in any way. Do you have a screenshot of what comes up on Task Manager?

Are you using Microsoft Edge?

Thanks for the replys. I'm just going to swap out the graphics card in the morning.

Hopefully your problems get solved, nothing worse than a pc that doesn’t behave. I’ve had ongoing issues with Edge since I relented & installed Windows 11. Apparently these issues are all too common.

Check for a failed fan while it's still in there, and for dust once it's out.

A reseat of the graphics card did the job.
