I installed the game Dawn of War and when I started it the screen
worked well for a minute and then went blank. After rebooting I have
blue horizontal lines on half of my monitor. The other half is good. I
have uninstalled the game and updated all drivers but can not get the
issue to go away. I have evan attached another monitor to see if it
was the monitor but with the same result. I need help.

Check the GPU Fan :(
Lost 2 boards to crummy fan failures. GPU's are not as forgiving as
my AMD or Intel CPU (no over clocking) that usually just start by
making errors and function normally after replacing the faulty cooling
component. On one board I had room for a thicker, tiny "Case" fan with
the 3rd (yellow,speed sense) lead and connected it to one of the
Motherboard FAN# connectors so I get BIOS warning of failure.
