Hi i have intel e5200
asus motherboad
2 gb ddr 3
9800gt graphics card
320 gb hdd
400w vip smps.

I recently bought new LED monitor (China ) after i joined it to system i shows 4-5 Vertical lines on display . i took out card and then ran again and problem was gone. i checked the card on another m/c and card ran smooth.i had replaced my smps some time ago due to non running of system (it was coolermaster 450w) .so where exactly is the problem?

Problem seems to be the graphics card. Try using the IGP port on motherboard.

Yup, clean your mobo especially your PCI slots. Or it might be your PSU is in-sufficient to power up you card.
Which card and which PSU BTW? Be specific with model numbers.

Graphics card problem unless PCI-E slot is very dirty.
Send the card for RMA.
