vertical strips on 17in mac pro laptop

Today, my 17inch mac pro laptop (5 years old now, hostname "ace") has a vertical strip in the middle. (It occurred once in the spring 2015, but went away on its own).

After some online research, I pressed the glass screen for a few second, and restart by holding CMMD+Ctrl+P+R. The vertical strip went away.

Pressing the glass screen was mentioned at

CMMD+Ctrl+P+R was mentioned at

Later in the afternoon, the same vertical strip come back again, after some overheated use.
I tried press the glass and CMMD+Ctrl+P+R again. The vertical strip was still there.
