    Hi all.

    I have a problem some of you may be able to help me with:

    I built my system about 7 months ago. since then I haven't had any problems.
    All of the sudden I am starting to see a thin red line on my screen that runs verticaly about 5 or six inches from the right side of the screen. It's not there all the time. It just pops up randomly. I figure it's one of three things; my mobo, my graphics card, or my monitor. I supose it could also be a wierd virus or something as well. I have scoured the support forums and faq's of all my manufacturers and haven't been able to find anything about this. Anyone have a clue what this is?

    Here are my components:
    ASUS A-8N SLI Premium
    XFX Geforce 7800 GT
    AMD 64 4000
    2 Gig Corsair Ram
    21" widescreen Gateway monitor

    Any input is greatly appreciated

    :confused:

    Actually, that helps alot. If nothing else at least I can rule out a few things. Plus, my monitor is still under warranty. Think I'll give gateway a call. If anyone else would like to add something I would be gald to listen!

    Thanks
