Because of nobody gave any solutions in my previous thread, i decided to use VGA cable with DVI to VGA adapter instead. However, i have a more annoying display problem with VGA connection, that is ghosting. Although I'm not sure if i should call it ghosting (I would refer this problem as ghosting from now on because of my limited knowledge, but if it's not called ghosting tell me what it's called) but here's how it apparently looks like : (click at the spoiler)
Spoiler
Please wait for a moment if the image doesn't appear

Note that it's just an illustration i made but i'm certainly sure it looks more or less like that. As you can see, the ghosting appears percisely in the right edge. Note that my PSU and GPU are brand new. I also had this problem with my old GPU and PSU. However, if i am to use the HDMI cable instead, the ghosting would disappear. So here are my questions :

1. Which component that would likely be the cause? is it the DVI to VGA adapter? PSU? GPU?
2. If nobody can't help me with this, that would be alright but would this harm my system in the long run?

Thanks in advance. I really appreciate your help :D

The picture was not uploaded properly. It just says "spoiler". Is this the image? The white shadow is considered ghosting.



Is there any reason why you can't use the HDMI cable? What monitor are you using?

Thank you for re-uploading the image! Yep that is the image. Well if you have seen my previous thread, i've got this, well i don't know how to explain but the texts really looks weird with the color that shouldn't be there in each character's edges while everything else looks pretty much fine. I'm sure though the problem is that i should change the display color format from YCbCr 4:4:4 to YCbCr 4:2:2 which there's no option for that in nvidia control panel while it's available in CCC. Edit : my monitor is Toshiba PB201

What operating system are you using? In Windows 7 (and I believe it is also on Vista, XP and 8), there is a nice feature called the "clear type text tuner". It can be accessed from the display settings in the control panel. You might want to try this.

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I really wish i could make some replica of the weird texts, well you know i already did clear type text several times and the weird text remains the same
