I have a Horizontal Grainy Screen in my Mac Book Pro

I have been using my MacBook Pro (early 2014) over 2 years now and suddenly I'm having problems.

I updated my mac to OS Sierra latest by formatting the Mac completely, and after using it for a week, the problem started to appear. So I formatted again and the problem didn't occur for about a month and suddenly yesterday, when I switched on my macbook, the problem started again.

This problem never occured when the MacBook is in recovery mode.

Has any one else encountered this kind of problem before ?

How can I solve this problem ?

Will it cost too much to solve this problem ?

Hi,

Resetting SMC could solve the problem, though you'd better make Genius Bar appointment or take your MacBook Pro to Apple Authorized Service Provider to show them your screen.

I didn't try your method but the problem was not there anymore. and I don't how!

But I did try resetting the SMC , but is there any indicator or alert to confirm that the reset is done ?

And I'm sure that this problem may arise again as it had occurred many times before.
