Yellow Line on Screen

A verticle yellow line just randomly appeared on my screen. I have a 27" 2020 iMac. I got the thing in December so I'm more than a bit frustrated by this. I'm guessing my GPU is failing, but am unsure. Does anyone know what's going on?

Diagonal lines on 2019 27" iMac... I keep getting a single or a few diagonal lines across my screen. Does anybody else get these? I worry that it is a faulty GPU that may soon break down. I have only had the computer for a month and I have already had a GPU tailspin. I have done the Apple Diagnostics (press D while booting up) and it found nothing wrong… Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

iMac G5 GPU Fault? Hello! I have an iMac G5 iSight 20" Desktop computer. It was given to me with some old software. After fixing the front bezel coming off the back, I powered it on and everything worked fine. Then I installed a bunch of software. After I installed a copy of Norton Utilities 8 for Mac OS 10.0, (My Mac was running 10.4.11), then it prompted me to restart to finish the installation. When it started up, strange lines covered the screen, in a purple or occasionally green colour. Help! Can I fix this? Did Norton Utilities cause the issue? Thanks. Josh

2019 16" Macbook Pro Potential GPU Failure? Hello! This morning, my display suddenly started artifacting, as shown by the attached picture. The screen was not changing, it just suddenly switched to the screen in the photo. I was not doing anything graphically intensive, and I found this quite strange and it gave me flashbacks to my old 2011 15" pro. Is this anything to be worried about, or it is just a driver issue or something software related? Thanks in advance, Andrew

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities.

That’s either display or GPU failure. Regardless, take the Mac to an Apple Store for service: Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple & Get Support.

Thanks Jack, I was afraid of that.
