Vertical lines on screen

[m37f]

My screen is showing vertical lines when displaying certain things/colors. I can still make out everything but the lines make it seem more granular. Is this indicative of a general thing or is it impossible to tell without knowing my exact setup?

Well do the lines have colors? Or is it an invisible line that traces down the monitor?

If possible, try plugging it to a different monitor and see if it's still doing the same. If it does, it's time to buy a new video card. Hopefully you have a desktop and not a laptop.
