    This issue is most likely related to your graphics card. What do you mean by "when I work on my lappy" - playing games or . . . ? Try playing games and see what happens.

    Sounds more like a panel or cable problem to me.. Steady vertical lines, especially those that are always the same, rareley point to a shot GPU.

    Then again, this MXM card doesn't exactly have a good track record.
