DOH! How the heck did I miss that

Thought maybe dead pixels but it would seem pretty strange for a whole patch to die all at once. I'm wondering if it's a result of a video card in its death throes? I'm using a Gateway 19" widescreen LCD that I got at CompUSA on sale for $200. I'm happy with it so far for general use and gaming...

Hey - I'm new to the forums and also a 1st time system builder I've got a brand new EVGA 7950GT and want to replace the stock cooler with a Zalman VF900-CU that I bought.
