@Leonardo : First of all sorry for the incomplete info. I was not sure that whether I will get the response from anyone.
Next, I am not sure if the issue is with OS or something else. I tried googleing for solutions.

What I am facing is.

1. Two pixel lines are broken on top of the screen.
2 . Screen Flickers.
3. Screen goes little white and delays key presses and mouse movements.

What I tried is :

1. Updated eOS from Update manager. (did not fix)
2. Updated kernal from 3.2 to 3.4. (did not fix)
3. tried this
     Section "Device"
            Identifier "intel"
            Driver "intel"
            Option "AccelMethod" "sna"
    EndSection
     in /etc/X11/xorg.conf and /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf ( I dont know what this does )

Now you must have understood that I am very naive with os concepts.
Please bear with me. :-(
