is this a gpu problem or a monitor problem?

Try borrowing a freinds monitor and connect it to see if the problem is the monitor.

If not its something else.

Since it's effecting the On screen display menu of the TV, it's most likely the TV. At least from the pictures, it looks like a TV rather than a CRT monitor to me. Ofcourse doing what SonDa5 said is a sure way of knowing.

Also, make sure the connections are tight and clean. Are you overclocking? What temps are you seeing? Does this happen when gaming only, or during all computer usage?

You just gotta narrow down the possibilities one at a time.

Thats not a TV, its a LCD Monitor...BenQ FP241VW. I can see that it sorta looks like a tube TV in those pictures, probably because of the way I took the pictures...

My video card isnt overclocked..the connection seems tight enough.. and this doesnt happen in all the games and applications only in certain situations..its kind of hard to explain..its mostly the Windows logo at startup, the monitor OSD and counterstrike...nobody has any experience with this issue?

I dont have any issues like this at all. Make sure y ou are at stock settings. Take the video card out and re-seat it perhaps?
