    Red lines and dots appearing on screen - Surface Laptop 3 13"


    So, recently I started seeing these red dots and lines on the lock screen of my black 13" i5-256GB-8GB Laptop 3.


    They've started to appear on my desktop and in apps, as well.

    However, when screenshotted, they disappear, so I had to take photos of it on my phone.

    Excuse the awful moirè effect.


    Is it possibly due to the fact that I downloaded the Intel Graphics Command Centre so I could disable power saving mode to fix the 'low brightness shutoff' issue, mentioned in another thread?


    I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    :)

    Red and Blue Lines Appear On Screen


    Edit: Sorry, I didn't notice that you were on a laptop. The below is from when it happened to us on a desktop computer.

    I can only tell you what happened to us....

    On my partners desktop there appeared one day a thin red line running from top of screen to bottom while playing Minecraft, then that thin red line was there on desktop too, then one day a blue line appeared about 3 inches away also running from top of screen to bottom.

    I had just bought a new Nvidia GTX 960, so I gave him my old GTX 460, he installed it and the lines were still there. He grabbed one of my old monitors out of the laundry room and boom, lines were gone. Apparently it's not only graphics cards going bad that exhibit this but flat panel monitors as well.

    So, if you've got an extra monitor (or somebody else in the house has one) try swapping it out to see if the lines go away before plonking down cold cash on a new graphics card.

    2 Dotted lines on my screen appears frequently

    Hello,

    One of the possible reasons why you are seeing two vertical lines could be a malfunction of your monitor. We'd like to know some information about the two vertical dotted lines that appears on your screen so we can better assist you.

    • Can you send us a screenshot of the two vertical dotted lines?
    • Can you try to unplug and re-plug the cord that is connected at the back of your PC and check if the issue persist?

    We look forward to your reply.

    Red and Blue Lines Appear On Screen


    While playing Star Trek Online the other day, red lines began appearing on the screen. At first the lines only appeared in the game which made me think it might have something to do with my graphics card, but then they started to appear on the screen all the time. I shut my computer down out of fear that it was overheating or something and after being offline all night I turned it back on, only to find the lines are still there. Red lines appear on black surfaces and blue lines appeared on white.


    I hooked the laptop, (Alienware M17-R1), up to my TV with an HDMI cable to see if the red and blue lines showed up on there as well and they didn't show up at all. That's what made me think it was just my monitor going bad, however I have replaced the screen with a new one from an identical laptop and the red lines remain. The blue ones are gone and it actually looks a lot better, but I still have red lines appearing in everything black.


    Additional: The red lines also show up around the Alienware logo at start up. I switched back to the old screen to see if any of the lines were due to a connection issue, but the blue lines returned along with the red lines. I have no idea what could be causing them.


    Any ideas what it could be?
