I have a question - My dell dimension 4600 has lines going down the screen, ive tried 3 different monitors, reinstalling windows (reinstalling would have lines going down the screen, after installing all programs the system freezes up with lines going down the screen nothing else) ive tried system restore can someone tell me whats going on?
That sounds like either a GPU failure or internal Graphics failure. Have you checked thermal paste?
