Alright so...I just built this pc few months ago and everything was perfect and all my games ran great etc...I just reinstalled windows a few days ago and I got all my computer/programs stuff updated, latest drivers, I got everything literally! But now when i scroll the page on my browser(all browsers do it)the screen has like a ripple or line thats noticeable. Now i know i can get ride of accelerated hardware on the browser and that somewhat fixes it or turn of smooth scrolling, but the ripple/line effect still persists even in my games. I have vertical sync turned on too and it still persists, I've read almost every forum post i could find about this issue and nothing has fixed it, i even reinstalled windows again and downloaded/updated all over just to see if it worked and it didn't, I tried another monitor and it still does it, I even redownloaded/installed my graphic drivers and even installed older versions to see if maybe somehow the current driver just didnt want to work anymore...Nothing has worked yet, nothing...I've tried going from HDMI to DVI and it still persists, I've checked that all my computer components are tight and good in the case, nothing is overheating etc...Im using a Gtx 780 nvidia card and a asus Generic monitor i think a 23 inch its full HD etc.

I've tried almost everything i can think of! The refresh rates seem to be all on the same page too so that setting isnt the problem!

I need help, because this screen line/ripple is driving me insane!

I also just tested a different power supply same watts and a different graphics card, both times yielding the same results with ripples/line flashing across the screen when I scroll on the browser or when i move around in a game.

So my issue I'm having isn't the Graphics card, power supply, monitor, cords, or the drivers, because I've tested multiple versions of all of them! This is beyond annoying >.<

Had the same problem after updating the graphics card drivers to the latest ones as provided by the manufacturer's own website. Ripples galore!!! The only way to fix it was to revert to an earlier version of the drivers, which was easy in my case as a system restore took everything back a few days for me.
Good luck.
