Lines appearing on screen...

When I'm watching videos, playing games, or even scrolling on Firefox, I get these faint horizontal lines on my screen.  It doesn't look like tearing...Just faint lines.

I have a Nvidia GeForce 8400 GS video card with 512MB RAM and I'm using the proprietary Nvidia drivers.  I've tried everything I could suggested in the wiki and previous threads...But nothing seems to fix it.  My WM is Awesome and I have mplayer configured to use VDPAU.

Here's my xorg.conf is it helps...

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "Layout0"
    Screen      0  "Screen0" 0 0
    InputDevice    "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard"
    InputDevice    "Mouse0" "CorePointer"
EndSection

EndSection

Section "InputDevice"
    Identifier     "Mouse0"
    Driver         "mouse"

    Option         "Device" "/dev/psaux"
    Option         "Emulate3Buttons" "no"
    Option         "ZAxisMapping" "4 5"
EndSection

EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier     "Device0"
    Driver         "nvidia"
    VendorName     "NVIDIA Corporation"
    Option         "NoLogo" "1"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
    Identifier     "Screen0"
    Device         "Device0"
    Monitor        "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth    24
    SubSection     "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes      "1280x1024"
    EndSubSection
EndSection

Any help with this would be highly appreciated.
