Here, the GPU is clean, checked myself and I blew it so it's clean ,

I assume that you also blew out the slots that the GPU is seated in on the motherboard? Just checking. I know dust artifacts on the connectors between the GPU and motherboard can also cause the issue you describe.

What happens if you run at a lower resolution? I seem to remember having similar issues a long time ago on an old GPU card, and I think I solved the problem by changing my resolution or monitor frequency. I cannot recall which fixed it at this time as it was probably five years ago when it happened.

In lower resolutions it does not happen, If I zoom in or out in that page it does not happen either.

Yep it's all clean, but that's strange since I can play Call of Duty and other games that require a 'good' PC and I never had artifacts

Have you tried resetting your monitor or changing monitor settings? You said you could not test it on other monitors, but you could try changing the settings of the monitor you have and see if it helps.

I've tried but when I hit reset and there 'Yes' and 'No' I pressed Yes of course xD and then the screen becomes a bit blurry but the lines appear too I've also tried the 'auto adjustment' setting but the lines keep appearing

Based on everything you have done, I am thinking it is a problem with the line from the graphics card to your monitor. I reach this conclusion due to a few things:
1. Changing the resolution fixes it on the monitor, as does zooming in or out
2. Changing monitor settings has no affect
3. When you did a screen shot, the problem did not show up

3. especially leads me to believe that there is nothing wrong with the graphics card or what it is outputting as it would output the same problem to an image. It would appear that either your monitor does not support the image the graphics card is sending, or the link between the monitor and graphics card is bad; you may have a bad connector.

Try GENTLY playing with the connector and seeing if it makes a difference on the screen. Also, make sure all components are securely plugged in, including the monitor connection to the graphics card (check this while the computer is off and unplugged from the surge protector/outlet).

Hello! What does playing with the connector mean? If by that you mean checking it is properly plugged in then I've tried (I'm sorry I don't know much about PCs I'd be thankful If you could explain me what that means) , When I take a screenshot the lines DO appear (in my PC).


Thanks a lot for all you help!

I mean move the actual connecting wire around to different positions and see if it makes a difference. It sounds like your monitor does not support the graphics being sent to it, though. The lines show up in the picture when viewed on your monitor, but they do not show up in the picture when it is posted on the forum. Have you tried changing the frequency from 60Hz to 59Hz or vice versa?

To change frequency:
1. Right click on the desktop
2. Click Screen resolution
3. Click Advanced Settings
4. Click List All Modes
5. Scroll up or down just a little bit; there should be a resolution setting for the same resolution you are using with a frequency of 59 Hertz and with one of 60 Hertz.

Okay I've tried the connecting wire thingy but It did not work ; I've tried changing the frequency as default it was on 1680 by 1050, True Color (32 bit), 60 Hertz so I changed it to 1680 by 1050, High Color (16 bit), 60 Hertz
and the lines still appeared so I set it to 1680 by 1050, 256 Colors, 60 Hertz and then the lines did not appear at all, but my computer look horrible xD; So I set it back to the default one (1680 by 1050, True Color (32 bit)) There was no 59 Hertz frequency

Have you tried installing Catalyst Control Center and changing settings in the Catalyst Control Center environment? Maybe just slightly changing hue/saturation/etc. will help.

I've tried slightly changing Hue and saturation, brightness and contrast and it did not work but when I go to 'Image Adjustments (VGA Display)' and check the Composite Sync setting it doesn't seem to happen but it says Composite Sync is only if your using an older composite displays
