Screen Flickering and Horizontal Lines on Monitor

Anonymous

I've been having this rgb lines issue for a while. At first it was 2 or 3 lines on the monitor (they're at the top and bottom of the screen) but now it has grown exponentially, and lately if i use it for long hours it looks like this (the whole screen freezes up when it happens). Now, since yesterday the screen started flickering. I've checked all my drivers and they're all up-to-date. Not sure what's causing this. One more thing, they don't show up when i take screenshot.

In that case, you will need to get your screen checked at a PC Repair Shop, it cannot be a Windows or driver problem if they appear in BIOS.

That's what i was thinking. The monitor is under warranty so that's a relief. Thanks for the help.

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Your screenshots indicate there may be a hardware problem on your screen, especially if that gets worse after your screen has been on for a while and also if that problem does not show up in a screenshot.

Boot your system into BIOS, is that problem also on the screen in BIOS?.

If it is, then there is a problem with the screen, it cannot be Windows or BIOS causing the problem.
