    I was having an issue where when i turned on a direct X 9+ game I was getting yellow lines on my monitor that only went away when restarting the computer.
    These lines didn't appear in screenshots and i didn't have an external monitor to test with.

    after reinstalling the driver, direct X, the OS, and all the programs the issue still persisted.

    Today I was able to use an external monitor and the issue didn't appear on the second monitor.

    I opened the computer and pulled out and then re-set the cable that attaches the monitor to the Mobo.

    Issue solved.

    P-7811FX good as new.
