My 15" MBP is intermittently displaying a large vertical band of colored lines on the screen. The band is about 4 inches wide and it's in front of anything on the screen, including the dock and menu bar at the top. The problem comes and goes. Sometimes a restart helps, but other times it does not. Sometimes is appears and then goes away on it's own without me doing anything. When I take a screen shot the band of colors does not appear.

Does anyone know what is happening?

Thank you.
