Hi Stylinwiley,
Welcome to PCHF. We have a terrific team of techs with a wide variety of computer skills, I am sure we will be able to help you resolve this problem.
First of all, as you say your monitor is going out, have you tried getting a different monitor to determine if it is the graphic card settings or the monitor that is the cause. I would think that you could get your hands on a monitor for nothing, (I have at least two in my garage, lol.)
How did the monitor handle the games before you installed your new graphics card?
When the monitor doesn't allow you to see anything, can you adjust the monitor settings again?
Look forward to your reply,
TTFN
LGW
