My problem is that when I started the pc this morning there were vertical coloured lines over the screen. The graphics are wrong right from the beginning, even before windows starts so I would assume it is a hardware problem. I have tried several monitors so that is not the case. The strange thing is that when I make a screenshot, the lines are not there.Video card fan is running and the pc does not seem to overheat. The video card is 640MB Club 3D 8800GTS PCI-Exp. What could be the problem ?

Hope someone can help,
Thomas
