Sorry, raahil69, but I can't see anything untoward because your picture isn't clear enough.

The image is clearer, but I'm sorry I still can't see it. Can you indicate exactly where it is, and perhaps use a different desktop background to help it show up better?

Re: red line visible near vista gadget??

Ahh, now I see it. Does it disappear when you close the sidebar? I'm wondering, since there was no evidence of a line like that in the previous image, whether it is a defect in your monitor.

Try installing and running the following (it's a 30 day evaluation version), but it should help to narrow down the problem. PassMark MonitorTest - Test monitors and LCD flat panel screens

Do you notice any defects in any of the tests?

Looks like it's the monitor, then. That would explain why I couldn't see the line on your images (apart from the one that you captured with your camera).

I don't think that it's your RAM (you would have been getting unexplained errors and BSODs with that). Of course, it doesn't mean that the graphics card isn't the cause of the problem. Try a known good monitor to check, or alternatively try your monitor on another system. If your monitor doesn't have this line when connected to another system or if a known good monitor displays the line when connected to your system, then it would indicate a problem with your graphics card.
