    IF any help can be given please help. When ever I open a game such as Doom3, Star Wars Battlefront, etc. I have a slowly progessing bright line of white pixels at the very bottom of the LCD Screen. It only shows up when its trying to draw graphics. It also shows when I do a directX test. But those are the only times it doesnt show up on the desktop at all only when #d is being shown. Please any help would be great Thanks!

    I'm no expert but it could mean 2 things :

    Either unsuitable or demaged drivers which you should try to reinstall .

    Or an improper installation of the GPU or to be more specific the heat sink , when the GPU is under phisical stress or gets too hot it might cause artifacts like that .

    Just mho .
