Strange yellow (?) line appearing on monitor

[Ipquarx]

Restart Steam

Is this a serious suggestion..?

I mean the part of the graphics card actually responsible for outputting to the monitor, which wouldn't be caught in a screenshot.

If you don't have another monitor to test on, see if your current one has any calibration settings to offset the picture.  If the yellow line moves with the picture offset, then there is a fault with your computer.  If the yellow line remains, it may be an issue with the monitor itself.

I imagine that this can also be tested without the computer simply by turning the monitor on with no computer attached

Dead pixels or damaged screen. In other words buy a new monitor. These suggestions don't work and most of them don't even relate to what's going on.

Have you tried it on any other computer?

It actually does, that's a great idea.

Tried it, yellow line always stays in the same place.

The screen is broken, there is no way for you to fix it.

.357 revolver and about 200$ will fix it right up.

A grenade would fix it too.
It would also fix his need for a new screen.

Give the side of the screen a solid whack, I had a laptop have that problem and giving it a whack fixed it.
