It was working perfectly until I restarted it yesterday by the morning. I started to get this bunch-load of horizontal lines moving up and down, side to side. I followed that instruction of changing the "Screen Refresh Rate" but it didn't work. Disconnected the PC and cleaned everything inside, even the graphic memory, all the motherboard, the fans, etc. I also checked the VGA cables and they work just work fine. The monitor have no issues either. I also tried removing the Monitor controllers and graphic memory's drivers. Installed the recommended drivers by ATI and I still get the same problem.

Can someone please tell me what else can I do?

I suspect a hardware problem with the video card or monitor.
