Black Lines on my monitor

[Renegade Penguin]

If it's the video card, it very likely could be a speck of dust across 
some of the traces on any number of chips on the card.  Taking out the 
video card, blowing it off, and re-seating it may help.  A thorough 
cleaning out of the case could help as well.
