if the bars are present in dos & windows, in the same exact spot from the moment you turn the pc on, it is the monitor. if the bars move or appear only once in a while, or only in certain programs, it is the video card and/or its drivers.

to find out if it is one or the other if you know some one with a computer see if you can switch monitors with them for a day if it is the monitor then the ghost bars won't be there on the other monitor but if you are using a differnet monitor and the ghost bar is still there then it is your video card. hope this helps

The only way to know for sure is to either plug another monitor into your PC, or plug your monitor into another PC.
