Yeah, I check that mate!
Just had to 'give in' and book it in for a diagnostic at a repair shop.
PRAYING it is not an expensive job as I'm a touch fiscally embarrased right now but really need it as I also work from home and my PC generates some of my regular income

Ok felt I needed to update if nothing more than to respect and thank those who tried to help.
It turned out the Ndivia Graphics card had blown and I stood no chance of fixing things without replacing the whole thing.
Now for the super embarrassing part.....
If I'd only looked a little harder, it turns out that there is a VGA port built onto the mother board and all I had to do is plug the monitor in to that instead, at least as a temporary fix until I could purchase a new Graphics card
Up and running for now but need the card and a replacement fan for the PSU as this had shattered also, guy cleaned it out and solved the noisy, laggy issues also for now.
GC is about £50 and fan £5 so not a total disaster as I first thought (touch wood!)

I vaguely remember something about VGA for older pc's, when it's in regard to graphics, during my student days, but forgot to mention it
, but all's good now..happy days
