Hi all:
I have a panp7 that I purchased in 2011. Recently while use, suddenly a number of colored lines appear on the screen, and the computer seems to hang. A hard reboot sometimes fixes this, but the problem simply reappears later. A picture of what it looks like is attached.

This problem I have seen in Ubuntu 14.04, 15.04, 15.10.
I hooked the laptop to my TV, and the lines also show up there.
Sometimes the lines can be seen on the first screen when I power the computer on, with the system76 screen.
I am guessing that my graphics card is toast. Is there a way to upgrade/repair it?
