Computer Issue

is it a laptop or desktop

 

sounds like the screen is going out, i had that issue on one of my laptops

 

Sounds like a video chipset issue more than the lcd, either way it's not good.

 

I think you need a new monitor. Here's a test you can try. Plug in an external monitor to the laptop. Do you still see the line? If so, then the issue is your video chipset and not the monitor. If you don't see the line, then it's your monitor. Now, there is one other, somewhat remote possibility, and that is a loose monitor cable, but this is not a common thing and it would probably not impact just a single pixel.

If you still have a warranty, call it in. I believe that you need a new monitor.

my gateway laptop did that, and i had to push on the back of my screen to get it to come in and then eventualy it stopped working doing that too. kinda poopy so yeah laptop just sits here now haha, on a different one....thats not a gateway

 

Not with a computer that I know off, but I heard some tvs with that issue have been recalled and replaced for free. Check into it.
