Just to say I'm new here so sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

Just after I type my password word in and the desktop appears I've noticed a white artefact at the top of the screen. This only happens once but it's still a bit worrying per session but it happens every time I log in.

Anyone know what this could be?

Thanks!

Sure,

i5 2500k CPU (stock)
MSI P67-GD53 Motherboard
XFX 7870 Tahiti LE GPU
128GB SSD
500GB HDD
8gb RAM
750W Corsair PSU

The artefact looked like a bunch of parallel squares linked together with with lines at the top and bottom. Similar to the metal plates that you remove from your case when adding a graphics card.

Awesome, I'll try it out when I'm back home.
