    I started to have this weird problem since yesterday, when I switch from 6970M to intel HD3000, there are horizontal blue lines keep flickering, appearing/disappearing on the screen. This problem will be gone immediately when I switch back to 6970M.

    Strange thing is the blue lines shows up on start up screen too no matter whether I am on IGP or 6970M, but on 6970M, once it loads to the windows login screen, the lines disappears.

    I have no idea what's the possible cause to make intel HD3000 behave so, as I had no problem with it before.

    Anybody has the similar problem and knows what's going on with my machine? Thanks in advance!!
