I was using my computer when the bottom half of screen turned black
as I was trying to adjust my vert. hold the top went and now I have a thin line in the middle

If it has vert. hold, it probably has vert. size. Try adjusting that. If it does not work, repair or replace monitor.

Repair or replace. Some TV shops will repair monitors. Just weigh the costs and go from there.
