When I was using my macbook pro 15" retina, fall 2013, the screen began to fade white and thick horizontal lines appeared.

It went black wth the screen still backlit afterwards.

When i restarted it it would either load and then fade and black, or it would show a loading screen and then black out or load the desktop and black out.

A few days after I opened it and it went back to normal then an hour later the same problem started to occur.

I replaced the screen last year when it cracked and didn't have problems until now.

Could it be a graphics card?
Or loose connection?
Can I replace the card myself? If not how much will it coat to salvage the motherboard?
