Sounds like your GPU (Graphics Card) is on the way out! I have seen this many many times, where coloured lines appear on the screen. Try updating or rolling back your GPU drivers.

If I am write in thinking, that laptop originally came with Windows XP installed? You may find Windows 7 is not 100% compatible with your laptop. Try this:

wow all these veterans and i had to figure it out myself so if anybody runs into a similar problem it is the LCD inverter which i found on ebay for 24$ and to think i almost threw it away
