Anyone know anything about DLP's?

OK I know this is relatively OT, but since I *want* to hook my computer up to this, it counts, right?!
I recently bought a Mistubishi WD-52525. (2 months ago). Brought it home, tested it with a DVD for like 10 mins, looked great, then didn't turn it on for 2 months as we just moved into a condo and it was in the basement taking up space until my girlfriend went through and unpacked all of her crap.
I finally got to start watching/playing it this weekend... and after 15-45 minues, perfectly evenly spaced blue/white lines show up over the picture. I saw them disappear once, but they came back like 2 minutes later. Usually, I have to turn off the tv for like an hour or so and they go away, for about 15 mins.
I'm including links to low res pics of the issue. Do any of your montior/tv/high end video enthusiasts have ANY IDEA what the hell this is?:

AVS has helped me with projector issues - the folks on there pretty much all know their stuff.

I posted there already, but thanks anyways.
I hadn't gotten a response, so I threw it out here.. Shot in the dark, but there's some very knowledgable people on this forum in multiple areas, so I was hoping maybe someone knows what it is or has seen it before.

Could be a bad DLP Light Processor Chip. I would try a TV signal just to be sure, to make sure it is not happening on only one input. DLP uses rotating microscoping mirrors (about a couple million or so) to create an image. Color is applied via a rapidly spinning wheel that is kept in sync with the mirrors.

I have that exact tv, and love it. I have never had that line issue though, and my recommendation is to contact who sold it to you immediately. That should NOT happen.
