Hey,

Ever since I ran and update drivers using 'Driver Genius Professional Edition', whenever I hibernate my Laptop and then turn it back on, there are lines all over the screen and its kind of flashing?

Many times those third party program do not get it right, go into control panel then system, hardware, device manager. Then click on Sound video and game controllers, right click the video items there are usually two. when the panel pops up pick the driver tab click it then click roll back driver that should fix it.

Adding to OldPhill's post....
In general, drivers should be left alone, unless you're experiencing some problems.
Running 3rd party programs, which suggest updating drivers in bunches is really bad idea.
Those programs are usually scams.

You should be looking under "Display adapter".
