when i turned it on the were streaks across it even when just monitor turned on i get it.

points to the problem being the monitor. To be sure, you should test it on a different power circuit to ensure it isnt your power coming in, and with another computer if you have one. Or at least unplug it from your video card-if the problem goes away(unlikely IMO) then it most likely would be the video card.
First thing that comes to mind is possibly The surge (or a Lightning strike) cooked part of your electrical supply, but that is just a guess at this point. Changing the circuit the monitor is plugged into will help eliminate it as an issue.
