Green Stripe On screen

There is a green stripe on my screen. It only appears sometimes.

I have docky on the right side of the screen (it's hiding when I took the screenshot)
What causes that green stripe? Is it because of an application or is it a bug/problem with LM?
It appears when I used LM13 Mate and now with LM14 Cinnamon 32 bit it still appears.
Any help will be appreciated!
Cheers!
Brian

Does it do it in any other Operating Systems? (like Windows or OSX) What GPU do you have, and are you using the proprietary drivers? We need more information here.

I guess it's because of the dock. I use docky. And when I point my mouse to the dock, the stripe disappears. Then I move it away, it appears. I don't know if it happens in all computers, but when I used LM13 Mate, the stripe also appeared, that time I used cairo dock.
Again I want to say that that the stripe only appears sometimes. But when it appears, it's annoying. Thanks for the response.

It very well could be a bug with Cinnamon or Docky. If you disable the dock, does the stripe go away? If you run Docky in without autohide, does it go away? The only thing I can think of is that it might be highlighted, and the highlight is green. Change your theme so that your highlighting is a different color (i.e. blue) and see if the stripe changes.
Also, there is a difference between 'inxi -f' and 'inxi -F'. The one you did lists the CPU flags, not the system information.
