Recently a thin black horizontal line appeared across my computer screen. At first it was there for a while then went away, now it seems to be permanently there. Anyone know why it is there or how to get get rid of it.

There could be several reasons for a horizontal line to appear on your computer screen. It could be due to a faulty graphics card, a loose connection between the screen and the computer, or a damaged screen.
The solution to fixing a horizontal line on your computer screen depends on the cause. You can try restarting your computer, checking the connections, or updating your graphics card drivers. If the line is due to a damaged screen, you may need to replace it.
No, a horizontal line on your computer screen is not a common sign of a virus. It is more likely caused by a hardware issue. However, it is always a good idea to run a virus scan to rule out any potential threats.
If there are multiple horizontal lines on your computer screen, it could be due to a damaged graphics card or a faulty screen. It is recommended to seek professional help to diagnose and fix the issue.
To prevent horizontal lines from appearing on your computer screen, make sure to handle your computer and its components with care. Avoid dropping or mishandling your device, and regularly update your graphics card drivers. You can also invest in a surge protector to protect your device from power surges.
