verticle blue dashes getting worse...help!!!

I have a 3 year old Inspiron 8600.  I have increasing quantities of verticle blue dashes around objects; especially when downloads of videos...thought it might be the video card?  any ideas?  will I need to take it to a computer repair shop or is there some adjustment I can make?  Thanks for your help.

    if the image is ok when viewed on an external monitor then the videocard would be ok. in that case you should first look at the video cable harness as it can perish over time and can be replaced by the layman.
