I have been getting monitor tearing time to time, even with windows. It wasn't occurring often, and I could fix it by turning the monitor off and on, so I have been sleeping on it.

A few days ago, it began tearing like crazy, and it happens after turning the monitor on for a few minutes. It came to the point where the computer is nearly unusable, so I want to solve the issue once and for all.

How do I go with resolving a monitor tearing issue? Or, is it the faulty monitor? The issue also happens on Windows, after all..

if it happens over multiple operating systems, its either an insane coincidence or hardware issue. however, if you are lucky, the hardware that is broken is only the cable or only a specific port. i suggest trying different cable and port combos, on both GPU & motherboard and Screen (if your screen has multiple ports)
