Computer screen is jumping all around.
I awoke this am to find my computer screen totally distorted and jumping all around. It is as if it is split in half, but still unable to read it with lines going across it. After turning computer off and back on a couple of times, I left it, returning 30 mins later to it working fine. This happened to me about 2 weeks ago, but has been working fine since. Does anyone know if my computer is going to crash? or what is causing this?

It could be several potential areas. The actual monitor, the video card, the power supply, etc. You will have to try and isolate which it is.
From a "cold" start, just power on the monitor ONLY and see if the screen is "jumping". If it is and the screen vertical and horizontal controls do not correct it, there is an internal monitor problem.
If it's not the monitor, it will be a little more difficult to try and determine what in the PC is the problem, especially since it corrects itself after it "warms up" - usually these types of problems occur after it is "warmed up".
