Hi Guys,

I have a desktop PC & Im getting alternate Vertical Green lines on my screen (when the screen has dark wall-paper its green, & pink lines with white backgrounds). And during windows startup, grey squares appear while windows is loading. My PC worked fine until last week, but one fine day all of a sudden this started happening.

The Green lines start appearing when the windows blue screen opens.

My monitor is working fine. I connected my laptop to it & screen is perfect.

I also started Windows in Safe Mode, the same problem appears. And no prominent errors r shown in event viewer.

Whats going wrong..???? Could it be my display, video or graphic drivers need updating or a hardware failure & needs a card changing? I’m just speculating.

I need HELP.....!!!!!!!!!!!!

If i can, i'll attach a screen-shot pic.

Ps.: what is the difference between display-card, video-card & graphics-card?

Thanks a bundle.

I appreciate your valuable help..........

AMD Athlon XP 3200+ Processor

Hello Bobbina, I think your graphic card has artifacts
to be sure, download ATITOOL from my signature
open it and choose scan for artifacts
let it run for about 30 mins, keep an eye on it to see if it can detects artifacts
