Red Vertical Line

[Guest]

Okay this problem just started recently. So far every time I startup my
computer and sign in, I get this red vertical line on my screen that keeps
randomly popping up constantly. It's not causing any problem, but it does get
annoying. I've already restarting and deleting any cookies. Does anybody else
suffer from this and if so, please tell me there's a way to fix this.

I couldn't say for certain, but I think your video card is getting ready to
go out.
this can be caused by a bad memory chip on the video card.

You might want to hook this monitor up to another computer to
see if the problem still occurs. That would pretty much confirm
that there is a problem with the monitor.

What type of monitor do you have? If it's an LCD, it's possible
that there is a problem with the wiring inside the display. You
might want to contact the manufacturer if the monitor is still
under warranty.

Good luck

Almost certainly this isn't a Windows issue, but a problem with the
monitor. To be sure, try borrowing a friend's monitor and temporarily
using it instead to see if the problem goes away. Or try your monitor
on your friend's computer to see if the problem goes with it.
