In my experience, vertical bars on the screen is a solid indication of a failing display -- as I had a Dell do this to me a while back -- and paying to get that fixed nearly always exceeds replacing the screen outright. In my case, Dell wanted $350 to repair the monitor -- which I replaced with a new flat panel, for under $100.
I don't think this has anything at all to do with the BIOS.
