    I've just turned my computer on and this has appeared on my monitor![​IMG]
    It's present through the bios screen and loading screens and on all applications. Is this a graphics card fault and if so does it mean its buggered?
    Or a monitor fault?

    Thanks

    Monitor fault.

    Usually a problem with the panel itself.

    If it has warranty send it for rma.

    Panel is dying - as mrbungle says, see if you can get an RMA.

    Even out of warranty you still have grounds to make a claim. Read my signature thread!

    Does seem knackered, have you tried another connection other than the one being used right now?
