Hey guys I have an MSI GE 60 Apache Pro. Its truly an awesome laptop but the past few months it started to do this weird flickering and making weird lines on the screen. I'll post a video of it. It becomes quite bothersome and this laptop is only a year old so i wouldn't think it's from being old. Any guesses? It would mean a lot to me if I could get a guess to repair it :)

Hi,

It may either be the LCD or the graphics card. Do try to run some test to identify the issue.
- Connect and external monitor and see if the same problem will persist because if it does that means its the graphics card but if not it's the LCD that has the problem.
- Do a clean install as well of the graphics card driver that may help.
