Do you see the lines both within & outside of Windows?
Can you also post a screenshot of it?

Are they colorful lines? Beacause that is referenced to a tab seperation. If they are just disortion lines try adjusting the cables connection from your graphics card to your monitor, it may be the cable it self or just the connection.
