Yellow Line On Screen

Hi Guys,

I have this curios problem.

I have a thin yellow line (1 Pixel wide) that goes from the top to the bottom of my monitor. I haven't noticed it during POST and Windows loading only when the log on screen appears. But once the PC has been on for a little bit ( about 5 - 10 minutes) it goes away.

I recently air dusted the inside and had an issue reconnecting the DVI cable. And I did a few things in Glary as well at the same time. It was the day after I did all of this that the line appeared.

I have checked the cable connection and that seems ok. Could anything in Glary have done this?? And I have also updated graphic drivers.

My spec is below for you.

Operating System: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (6.1, Build 7601)
Mother Board: Gigabyte GA-880GM-UD2H
BIOS: Award Modular BIOS v6.00PG
Processor: AMD PhenomII X4 965 Processor, 3.4GHz(Stock)
Memory: 16GB RAM
Graphics Card: GeForce GTX 550 Ti Memory: 1024 MB
GPU Driver: 9.18.13.2723
Direct X 11

Thank you in advanced for any advise.

Maybe check that your video card is fully seated?

And what did you use to air blast the PC? Canned air or compressor?
 
I didn't touch the card itself but I can try reseating it. And a can of air. Who ever said air was free lied.

First i would try a different monitor to see if that clears it. then i would uninstall the drivers, then use a driver sweeper. Then reinstall the latest drivers.
 
Try another monitor, but if you have a flat screen, I'm pointing towards the LCD has a fault. If it goes away, good, but if it doesn't then that's fine, providing you'd be willing to cope with that.

Haha ;-) its true, surly is no Free Good. I buy these Tekno ones from ebay, there pretty good, but 4 for £13 is not cheap at all!

Anyway, As said, could be a driver error and is most probably this.
I personally wouldn't say the card is not seated properly but could be so worth a push down if you have the side panel off.
A cable pin not correctly inserted (check pins on cable are straight).
If your monitor has an 'Auto Adjust' setting, try this.

Good luck :)
 
Ok so I was on the PC earlier and noticed that my line that not only did I get accustomed to, but named Geoffrey had gone.

And I'm stuck if it comes back because I had tried everything, reseating card, replugging cables some driver stuff, and none of it worked.

I will let you all know if it is there the next time I go on the PC
