My laptop has been displaying vertical lines of colour, and not booting into windows as normal. I used the template from the sticky topic, so hope i provide enough info.
Overview of the problem
Screen boots up with vertical lines in different colours, and wont load anything normal, have to use system restore.
Full description of the problem and symptoms
Turn laptop on, sometimes boots with a screen of different colours arranged in vertical lines. Doesn't show normal boot screens. Other times show normal boots screen, but has random pixels in different colours, then after a time period the whole screen becomes random colours in vertical lines. Laptop restarts itself, then opens startup repair, after which i have to use system restore to get the laptop to work again. However, after a while the screen - while im using it - randomly flicks to its 'colourful state', and restarts and im back to the top agan.
Did it work normally at one time, or has the problem always existed?
This has only been happened for the past few days, so no, hasn't always existed.
Is the problem consistent and repeatable, or entirely random, or semi-random?
Semi-random, and repeatable, but regressing to a consist thing.
I already tried these steps:
Updating the bios
Updating the graphics card drivers (from HP website, NOT Nvidia)
Restoring back to earliest restore point
Restoring back to latest restore point
Run a virus scan
Run a Spyware Doctor scan
My software:
Vista Home Premium 32-bit
NOD32
Spyware Doctor (Version from Google pack - starter edition?)
Firewall is the standard microsoft one
Windows defender
My hardware
HP DV9611TX
T7500 CPU
2GB RAM
320GB HDD
8600M GS
Realtek High Definition Audio
Other information that might be relevant
Happens at anytime, however higher chance if laptop is coming out of sleep mode.
Hope someone can help me.
Kind Regards,
Jared
