So i just got a new laptop and i was listening to youtube when it froze, the laptop started buzzing and the screen got covered in horizontal lines, i had to force turn it off. I started it again a few minutes ago in it did the same thing in Hearthstone.

Hi,

It seems like the graphics card has failed already. 🙁
- First do try to connect it to an external monitor and see if the same problem will persist.
- If it does, that means you have to take it back to store you bought it from.
