Unplug the monitor video cable from the computer. Power on the monitor and see if you get the same results. If so then your monitor is defective.

SOURCE: Blank screen or vertical colored lines on monitor

sounds like a graphics card failing

is it on board graphics ?

if so try a graphics card in there see if that helps it

also if you could borrow a monitor and see if that helps

its either one or the other and is a process of elimination

SOURCE: Computer will not start past safe mode screen

In safe mode, hit start button -run, and type "msconfig" in the box , hit enter.
the system configuration utility opens.
select startup tab at the top
when the startup screen opens, UNcheck all the boxes, press APPLY, then OK
the computer will prompt you to restart, when it restarts it will give you a message saying you have use the system configuration utility to change the way windows starts, this is normal. Check the box that say dont show this again and click OK.
doing this will keep the programs set to start when windows starts from starting untill you start them manually. If one of them is causing the freeze, this will make the system accessible.
Keep in mind, you may want to turn some of them back on after you get the computer going and when you do , turn them on one at a time and restart the computer after each change. this way you can identify which program is causing the problem.
Hope this helps. please repost if you have more questions

SOURCE: Thin vertical lines on screen

You need a new LCD screen.
Thats a common problem with those panels
Or can be a hardware defect that occurs when the screen wasn't properly tested at the factroy

SOURCE: monitor screen with pink line

While I've never seen the stripe be pink, it's not impossible for it to appear that color. Your monitor is bad, and isn't easily or cheaply fixed.

Verticle lines/streaks down screen

The Display panel could be bad/damaged or the main board that controls every thing could be bad---parts for Dell equipment are known to be hard and sometimes impossible to find.

My screen has verticle lines and the colors are incorrect

Try your monitor on another computer (laptop or desktop), to see if the problem "follows' the monitor.

Try another monitor on your computer, to see if your computer's video-card is creating the problem.

Try a different "data" cable between your computer and your monitor, to ensure that all 3 "primary" colours are being transmitted.

I have a Dell computer with a flat screen now all of a sudden there are fine pink verticle lines along the right side of the screen. There is also a group of fine pink verticle lines about 1.5 inches wide...

Try the following steps:
  1. On the monitor, press Menu, and select Factory Reset.
  2. If the monitor has more than one type of connection available such as VGA, DVI, or HDMI, try a different type of connection.
  3. Connect the monitor to another computer. If the line appears when the monitor is connected to the second computer, the monitor might be damaged or defective.Otherwise, the video card and driver is causing the problem from the computer.let me know if this resolves ur issue.. if not then we need some other steps.. regards,guru

My 15 inch Dell LCD flat screen monitor has 4 blue (cyan) verticle pixel bands about half an inch wide on my screen. The monitor is about 3 or 4 years old. Can you help?

Sorry, but it's kaput. Broken. LCDs were pretty bad a few years ago. A new one will cost a lot less than that one did, and will work a lot longer.

Monitor vertical lines

Dear Choji,

If obviously the problem has not occured again then you have solved it on your own. Bravo to that. You shoud give yourself a proud pat on your back. But if the problem still exists, then its with the device driver settings of the monitor. Try reinstalling the monitor by reinstalling its drivers.

If this still does not help then refer to an authoised service personel.
