Question White lines across my screen

My laptop just started to have white horizontal lines appear across the screen after a minute of use. If I shut off the screen and turn it back on they disappear, but they're are back in a min. It's not a huge problem but is a pain in the ass if I'm writing a paper or trying to watch a movie. Any idea on what is causing this or how i can fix it?

Thanks for any help.

Connect an external monitor. This will tell you if it's the screen or the graphics adapter.

Please post the brand and model of the laptop.

It's an Asus eeePc 1000ha. I set up a separate monitor like you suggested and It's been working without any problem.

Okay, you have a screen issue. Is it still on warranty?

It may need a replacement screen, or possibly just the ribbon cable between the motherboard and the display needs reseating or replacement.
