So I just noticed this today, but I'm getting these faint streaks to the right of images, etc they're hard to describe but they're pretty much a much lighter version of whatever is on the left. I'm not sure if it's an issue with my monitor or my graphics card malfunctioning.

I took a screenshot and while they still showed up on the screenshot, my friend could not see them.

I don't really know how to describe them and I could take another screenshot but I doubt you guys will be able to see it.

So help, don't know what's going on

Went to sleep, here's a picture. I tried to circle what I'm talking about, they're pretty faint though.

I don't see anything at all. Are you using a CRT monitor?

 

[jc_rcw]

Nope LCD, I was thinking it was either my graphics card or my monitor.

That reminds me of the ghosting that people used to see on older T.V.s which was due to a less-than-perfect signal from the T.V. station.

It could even be a cable. But which LCD monitor are you using?

I didn't notice any artifacts or lighter colors.

 

[jc_rcw]

I'm using a really generic Dell 19 inch monitor.

Ah ha! That might be a part of the problem.

 

[jc_rcw]

I thought it was time to change my monitor anyway, thanks

What refresh rate your monitor uses?

I think you should get a new monitor already.

I think the video card is fine.

Time will tell us what it is.

I'm not sure actually, but I'll be getting a new one regardless.
