Using CPUID Hardware monitor to monitor my temps while playing WoW i realized that the ACPI which im guessing is the monitor hit 71 degrees. Wondering if thats a bit high. My GPU maxes out at around 76 degrees which i know is normal but i have been having some image issues where the image seems to tear a bit but then goes back to normal. Kinda hard to explain but ya... basically i kinda get white lines that run horizontal for like a split second then it'll be fine but creep up again later... kind of like when you try to watch the higher up channels when you don't have it paid.. the scrambler affect kinda.
But ya i'm just guessing thats signs of my GPU dying, or is it because the monitor temp is getting a bit too high? Either way, its only been 4 months since i've had my laptop so im still under warranty but just wanted to know what the cause could be.
Thanks in advance.

Maybe try a different video driver.
Otherwise = call dell because youre still under warranty -

As F1r3ball said, call Dell. Sounds very much like the card's starting to artifact, and thus is dying.
