Why does some text appear broken up with blank spaces where some words or letters should be? Is it related to a bigger display problem?

Sometimes, on my five year old Asus gaming desktop, the text does not display completely. There are blank spaces where some of the words or characters should be. And if I try typing on that same page, as I type, it displays the same way, with blank areas where some words or letters should be. The issue is temporary, and later, when I return to the same location, the text is all displaying properly.

I'm wondering if this "text display" problem is easily fixable or is part of the major display problem I'm having (recurrent No Hdmi Connection).

The specs for the ASM32CD desktop are:
-Intel Core i7 3.4 GHz
-2T HD plus 512 GB SSD (both mostly empty)
-16 GB RAM
- AMD Rd 370 video card
-Windows 10 is currently up to date.
-2 Monitors: both Asus VP278H 27 inch
I have two identical monitors and the Asus acts the same way regardless of which monitor I use or which Hdmi cable. The display problems are specific to my Asus desktop and do not occur on my other computers (Lenovo laptop and Mac Air) when they are connected to the same monitors using the same Hdmi cables.

The two display problems started a couple years ago while the computer was still under Best Buy warrantee. Since they couldn't replicate the symptoms in their shop, they said they couldn't fix it. The best they could offer me, before the warrantee ran out, was to reformat the computer for me. This was done four months ago.


But after the reformat, the display problems returned and have gotten worse. Recently, I could not get any display on the Asus desktop using its regular Hdmi port. However, the display did come back when I plugged into the Hdmi port for the video card.


Clearly there's no point my continuing this discussion with Best Buy now that the warrantee has expired. So I'm wondering where I should go from here? Any ideas anyone?


Thanks,
