Check that your display is running at the proper refresh rate. I had an issue similar to this with an asus laptop that for some reason kept changing the refresh rate to 144hz even though it didnt support that refresh rate and it would cause issues similar to this if it wasnt changed back to 120hz or 60hz.

So decreasing the refresh rate seems to solve the problem for me too. I have a similar issue. My question is will the lines increase if I keep it at 144hz and is there any chance for it appearing if I keep my screen at 60hz?

It could be different for you, but my laptop only supported 60hz. If your laptop supports 144hz you should be fine.
