Left monitor display becomes garbled

[J. Paul Bissonnette]

Check if the GPU is seated properly.
Contacts and socket clean.
I had a similar issue. 3 months and 4 "Computer experts" later the last
one removed and replaced the GPU a half a dozen times, replaced the
corrupt BOIS it caused and it has been running quite well for the last 2
years.
