Vertical lines

[ternity]

Hi, every now and then, Maybe 1 out of 20 boots I will get these vertical lines where I have to force restart.

Not sure if graphics card is dying or if it could be anything else? Doesn't seem to happen whole booted or in game, usually just right before bios screen or a few seconds after.

Sometimes the lines will be in different places such as in the middle or on one side.

Thanks for the help.

Well that's a shame... I have contacted MSI for help. Hopefully they can repair/replace.

What is MSI like with an RMA? Never had to do it before..

Cheers
