Hi,

I've had my MBP for about 2 weeks and yesterday a white vertical line about an inch long appeared on the right edge of the screen.

It went away after a restart, so I thought nothing of it, but now another one has appeared. Picture:

They mostly appear only on the desktop, but occasionally crop up when I'm running apps.

Is this something I can fix or is it a video adapter issue? I have searched and come up with some similar motherboard issues but they are mostly older macs.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Hmm
Do you have any pending updates?
 
No, I just checked a minute ago.

EDIT: Also in Exposé, I get blank pages cropping up with no preview, only white lines?
