Help with Laptop monitor, white streaking lines.


Hi ya guys,



Over the past few days my laptop has started to, for no reason, just have this white lines go down my screen.. They are usually real think and a lot of them.. It's kinda hard to describe.. If anyone has any idea what it might be it'd be a huge help.. Also if I open Mozilla it stops.. But usually if I goto another web page (other than homepage ) it starts again, and it always starts again if I goto a page with a dark blue/black back drop.

Could be a failing graphics card. Do you think you could get a picture of it? EIther try with printscreen or use a camera...

Theres a print screen.. I can't tell if it's showing it or not because the white lines are kinda disguising the other white lines.. Heh. Lemme go look for my camera.

You can rule out the monitor by hooking up a external one

Yeah, try an external monitor. But I'm quite sure that'll be your GPU...
