Screen problem

My Macbook air screen starts to blink and shows vertical strips every 10-15 min and then shuts down.

Any idea?

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 10.12

Your MacBook Air is showing signs of a failing Logic Board or even the display itself. You can still try the following-

Reset SMC by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset SMC. If that does not solve things then-
Reset NVRAM/PRAM by following the directions applicable to your MacBook here ➔ How to Reset NVRAM/PRAM. If that does not solve things then-
Enter ➔ Safe Mode and see if the screen issue still exists in Safe mode. Log out of Safe Mode and then reboot computer. If that does not solve things then-
Finally if none of the above works then you can enter ➔ macOS Recovery Mode and reinstall the macOS and see if that solves it.

Thats all I have for now. Beyond the above recommendations, You can have your MacBook Air examined at the Apple Store or an Authorized Service Center when they open or contact ➔ Apple Support
