I got the white line flashes as well and found it was only a botchy HDMI cable.

Ok, i got my 2m HDMI cable coiled up in a sealed plastic bag from the Chinese computer shop down the road for $14. At first i thought it was just a botchy brand , so i tested it with a better quality one i allready had and it worked fine. I took the botchy cable back for a new one and it works fine. I guess these cheap cables are fradgile or just poorly made.
