Fuzzy horizontal lines appear on the display as PC boots up. e.g fuzzy lines go from the right side of the mouse pointer to the right edge of the dispaly and move up and down with the mouse pointer. Is this the video card or monitor?? What could i do to fix the problem?

Probably your video card, ensure you have the latest drivers and that you have a Direct X version that is supported by your video card's drivers.

Most likely your video card. Try switching the monitor with a known working monitor and see if the problem still exists. if so, swap out your video card.

To me, it sounds like a video mode mis-match between the video card and the monitor.

Make sure that the latest correct driver for BOTH is installed.

The primary reason for having the correct monitor driver is to prevent Windows from setting up refresh rates, or video modes that the monitor does not support.

A bad monitor cable can also cause strange lines to display.
