    Help! Moving Green Lines


    Hey All, yesterday i turned on my computer and i got these green wavy lines going across my screen, they are visible from start up, even before the dell logo and Windows boot up logo.
    I don't know how they have come about.... i opened up my computer removed and cleaned by graphics card. Reinserted the graphics card and checked all the wiring, still the problem happened again.
    I have even rolled back the drivers and reinstalled the newest and latest drivers.
    Still the problem occurs.. i am not sure what wrong.
    Is it my graphics card? or could it be my PSU dieing or not being able to cope with the hardware.

    I have a Dell Vostro 410. Please see the specs below:-

    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad CPU Q9450 @ 2.66GHz (4 CPUs), ~2.7GHz
    Memory: 4096MB RAM
    Card name: NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GT
    Manufacturer: NVIDIA
    Chip type: GeForce 8800 GT
    DAC type: Integrated RAMDAC
    Device Key: Enum\PCI\VEN_10DE&DEV_0611&SUBSYS_053C10DE&REV_A2
    Display Memory: 1778 MB
    Dedicated Memory: 499 MB
    Shared Memory: 1279 MB
    Current Mode: 1680 x 1050 (32 bit) (60Hz)
    Monitor: Dell E228WFP

    Here's what the sticker on the PSU says:

    MODEL:- DPS - 350VB - 1B

    INPUT 100 - 127V ~ 10A, 200 - 240V ~15A
    ___ ___
    OUTPUT +12VA --- / 12A +12VB --- / 18A
    ___ ___
    MAX POWER +5V --- / 18A +5VAUX --- / 2A
    ___ ___
    350W +3.3V --- / 17A -12V --- 0.8A

    The Combined Power On +12VA & +12VB Total 300W Max
    The Combined Power On +5V & +3.3V Total 160W Max

    So all I know from this is that it is a 350W PSU

    Thank you for your help :)

    I would suspect the monitor ... do you have a spare that you can use to test it?
