Hi Folks,
I have a strange horizontal streak in my Hp 24 inch LP2465 monitor using the DVI cable. And for the life of me I cannot figure out what is wrong. When I first built the PC in Feb 2009. But for last few months the streak has emerged.

Here is the link to the picture of the screen: http://picasaweb.google.com/amitabh.arora/Monitor#5568623958936610562

Here are specs of the build:
Gigabyte X58-UD3R Motherboard
Intel i7 920
Gigabyte GTX460 1Gig (I had an older card Gigabyte 8400GS with the same streaking problem).
12 Gig (6 sticks) of Corsair memory

I have changed another DVI cable but to no avail. Also I replaced my Gigabyte 8400GS graphics card with Gigabyte GTX 460 1Gig.

Please help.

Cheers. -Amitabh

Streaks are at the same location regardless of the resolution. My Lenovo T61p laptop connected to the same LCD through its docking station does not show any streak :(

I'd bet money it's a monitor problem. When you get defective rows of pixels that never move, it's usually an internal problem. A bad DVI/VGA/HDMI cable wouldn't cause a set row of pixels to not work. The way data is streamed in DVI and HDMI, if you lost a data line or a clock line, it wouldn't do anything like that. If you lost a color line or a vsync / hsync line in a VGA cable, it does nothing like that either.
