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..

1 - It comes from the graphical displaying.

So it could be either hardware graphical related (aka GPU or display) or software graphical related.

2 - It doesn't seem to come from driver or software issue since Windows didn't work.

So it's surely related to hardware, display or GPU. If it's a desktop as other said you could try to change the output port of your display on your GPU...
