I was just playing this game I play called War Rock, and black lines kept going through the screen, horizontally, I know it's not the game, because this has never happened to me before.. I also don't think it's overheating, because my CPU was under load, and was at 46 degrees C, my Video Card was 65 degrees C, and My motherboard was 38 degrees C... I also don't think it's the refresh rate, because it's always been 60Hz, I never mess with it, and I already double checked it...

So what's happening, I don't know the temperature of my RAM, but I could get it if absolutely needed, and my cases stays pretty cool, I don't think it's overheating... If anything I pray it's either my video card, or my monitor, because my BFG card has a mifetime warranty, although I've never had problems with previous BFG cards of mine (FX 5500 256MB)...

EDIT: To make sure it wasn't my video card, I underclocked it by 20MHz Core, and 25MHz memory... It still happened...

Sounds like a common graphics card problem. I had a similar problem with BF:Vietnam on a GeForce Ti4200.

So was it your GPU dieing, or just a problem with the game... Keep in mind, this has never happened until recently...
