Try updating the graphics drivers to verify that isn't the problem.

Video drivers will do nothing if the lines appear from the system bootup.

I don't think the OP indicated the lines appear during POST or not. The statement is kind of vague. I agree that if the line appear as soon as the computer is started then it isn't drivers. Could still be caused by the graphics chip, although the screen is more likely.
Romel, do the lines show BEFORE Windows starts or after or both?
