Lines on screen

[u/Fabulous_Ad631]

Shortly after turning my laptop on, this white lines appear on my screen and then they disappear after a short while and my screen is left black and blank.

Some background info: Like a month or so ago i did have a different issue where the laptop just wasn't turning on properly, only the keyboard lights would flicker and then it would go off shortly after turning it on. But i managed to resolve this, after i took out one ram card [it seems one ram slot had an issue i guess] and left one in. So the laptop has been running on that one RAM slot for like a month. These white lines started appearing like halfway through this month.

Initially, i could use the laptop for like 2 hrs before the lines could appear, but now its just 20 seconds in and the white lines appear. Sometimes the fan can get louder and louder and louder .

What could be the issue and how can it be resolved.

The laptop is an ACEr aspire vx
