I just received a new hp laptop TODAY AND THE SCREEN HAS thin black lines flashing across the middle. I have restarted it with no change.

Have you run diagnostics?
Tap the ESC key after powering on. . Tap it once a second after you see the LEDs on the keyboard flash. When you see the startup menu, press F2 to run diagnostics.
Do not allow any updates if disk or memory fail, especially a BIOS update.

If a component fails during the UEFI test then return it since it is under warranty.

 

If the problem occurred right out of the box then just return it
