I built my computer over the summer and everything has been running great. About a month ago I have started getting lines across my screen after it boots up. My graphics card is not overclocked so that can't be it. I have tried reinstalling graphics drivers and reseating the graphics card. If I disable the graphics drivers and re enable them, it works fine again. Any help would be greatly be appreciated!

I think it's your GPU

use a different cable and connector use a monitor or tv to test it

Your GPU could be artifacting. Do you happen to have a second GPU or a second monitor to try? You could also try another display cable. Which graphics drivers are you using?

I misread that and thought it said "Linus flashing across screen".

 

Sorry I don't know what the problem could be. Have you noticed the lines while in the BIOS?

[Sportsman225]

Well this is very strange. I use display port for my monitor. I tried using a HDMI cable and the motherboard screen came up then the little windows circle popped up and then it went black and it wouldn't do anything else. Then I put the Display port cable back in and now it works fine. I am so confused.

Edit: I turned it off each time I switched cables.

That is strange. Have you tried praying to Linus and JJ from ASUS and asking them to take mercy on your computer?

 

Sorry if I'm not taking this as seriously as you'd like. I'm a silly person.

I put my computer to sleep earlier tonight. I woke it back up and this is what happened.

I have since turned off the computer and it is still happening.

So you've tried a different display cable and that didn't seem to work. Do you have a TV or other monitor lying around that you can try? Maybe use an HDMI cable from your cable box that you know works and see if your PC will output to your TV. 

 

Alternatively, you could also check the GPU itself. Make sure the fan is physically spinning and check temps while in a benchmark or game with GPU-Z (sensors tab).

I have MSI Afterburner and it is showing up.

I booted up my computer again this morning. Everything seems to be fine. It must be something on the software side because it seems to happen after I put my computer to sleep.

It could be a remnant of an old GPU driver. You could uninstall the GPU drivers, use CCleaner, then reinstall the latest driver from chip maker's site (with restarts in between each). Either that or just don't put your PC to sleep as a habit.
