Your graphics card is dead.
It happened to me last year as well.
Had to get a new card.

This alone sounds like you need a separate thread.

Anyway, borrow or steal a card, or close thread.

green lines across the screen is there a problem with my graphics card? i am using DVI and VGA converter for my graphics.

Happened a month back. HDMI to DVI connector to screen. Connected my laptop to the screen. Same problem. Connected the laptop VGA to screen VGA. Screen perfectly fine. So it might be the screen DVI connector on the monitor, sounds expensive. Next day I thought lets try another HDMI-DVI cable. These cables were quite expensive, but a HDMI-DVI converter at Incredible Connection @R50 and a HDMI cable borrowed from the TV, and it was perfectly fine again.

OP must first eliminate a bad cable before spending money. Test just the screen elsewhere, or test another screen and cable to your graphics card.

Turn PC off, take the card out and then reseat it, make sure the pcie power cables are properly seated. Next try a DP-DP cable. Next try the card in another PC and screen. If still doing the same replace the card.
