Hello

Monitor or a computer might have hardware problems.

Check the video cables at both ends - monitor and the computer.

Remove ALL power and reinstall all the memory cards and cables (at both ends, where this is possible)-in fact
Remove and reinstall - no not just tight. Clean the dust bunnies and make sure that the vents are clear.
Make sure you fans work when you put it back together.

See Safe Mode to see if the same thing happens - repeatedly press F8 that you start.

If any help try the monitor on another computer and another monitor on this computer to see if you
can determine who has the problem.

You may need to communicate with the monitor or support the system Maker (or video if another card manufacturer
(device) once you determine who has the problem.

================================================================

"Perhaps," it's a driver issue (which is doubtful). (Use Mode safe if you need.)

This utility, it is easy see which versions are loaded:

-Free - DriverView utility displays the list of all device drivers currently loaded on your system. For
each driver in the list, additional useful information is displayed: load address of the driver, description,.
version, product name, company that created the driver and more.
http://www.NirSoft.NET/utils/DriverView.html

For drivers, visit manufacturer of emergency system and of the manufacturer of the device that are the most common.
Control Panel - Device Manager - Display Adapter - note the brand and complete model of your
video card - double - tab of the driver - write version information. Now click on UPdate Driver (this
cannot do anything as MS is far behind the certification of drivers) - then do a right click - Uninstall - REBOOT
This will refresh the driver stack.

Repeat this for network - card (NIC), Wifi network, sound, mouse, and keyboard if 3rd party with their
own the software and drivers and all other main drivers that you have.

Now go to the site of the manufacturer of system (Dell, HP, Toshiba as examples) (restoration) and then of the manufacturer of the device
(Realtek, Intel, Nvidia, ATI, for example) and get their latest versions. (Look for the BIOS, Chipset and software)
updates on the site of the manufacturer of the system here.)

Download - SAVE - go to where you put them - right click - RUN AS ADMIN - REBOOT after each installation.

Always check in the Device Manager - tab drivers version you install actually shows up. This
because some restore drivers before the most recent is installed (particularly that audio drivers) so install a
pilot - reboot - check that it is installed and repeat if necessary.

Repeat to the manufacturers - BTW on device at the DO NOT RUN THEIR SCANNER - manually check by model.

Look at the sites of the manufacturer for drivers - and the manufacturer of the device manually.

  • Blue vertical line on the screen

    Hello

    After a day of use, I have a blue vertical line on the screen. Defective LCD screen? Tried to reapply the latest firmware, but that doesn't change anything. Other things to try before a sent an RMA?

    I dunno if Newegg "corresponds to" Amazon product replacement policy is defective products: Amazon will cover the shipping costs for the return (via a pre-paid return label he sends you) but also send a replacement free of charge.  You might want to check with Newegg, if your Clip has been purchased recently.

    Apart from Newegg, if you need to take advantage of the SanDisk warranty directly with her, SanDisk (at least in the United States) covers shipping as well as for the replacement that is sent back.

  • Blue vertical line on the screen of the Qosmio G20

    A few minutes ago, I was surfing the web and from nowhere share an apperead to the blue vertical line on the screen.
    A blue vertical line near the middle of the screen and crosses the screen all the up toward the bottom.

    If I'm looking at a white background, the line is undetectable, but if it is colored, it comes right thru.

    Please don't tell me they are dead... hoooo pixels... I am now, life away from any toshiba repair shop and I get a guarantee...
    I think that I bought 3 years ago. Need urgent help

    Hey Susana

    I wouldn't say it s a lack of dead pixel, but to me, it looks like a more serious problem.
    It looks like a malfunction of the graphics card. But to be sure, you should try to connect the external monitor to the computer and check if the same vertical line will appear on the second screen.

    If you're going to see the same line on the external monitor, then I assume that the question of the vertical blue line might be linked to the GPU fault.
    This could be the case value because the chip graphic card cannot be replaced. You need to replace the whole motherboard :(

    So, as you see it s not easy to solve this problem and I really recommend to contact a technician who has more experience with these laptop problems.

    Good luck

  • Get a blue vertical line on my laptop

    I have a blue vertical line on my laptop. I can't even take a screenshot of that (in the screenshot is not there). I tried to update my driver too but it shows that you have the latest version of your display driver. Please help me...

    Depending on how "mechanical" you're - you could try the case remove and clean then reconnect the ribbon cable from the screen. It's actually not that hard to do and you can probably Google instructions specific to your model of laptop.

    I hope this helps.

  • Why am I a thin blue vertical line on screen?

    Why am I a thin blue vertical line on the screen of my PrecisionM4800

    .? Is there problem with Video card?

    Hello Karthi.SK44,

    Thanks for writing on the Dell Community Forum.

    I suggest you to test the display on the external monitor to confirm if the screen is bad on external monitor while the motherboard is faulty.

    Then run LCD BIST (built-in self-test) on the system to shut down the system, then press and hold the power button. Then put on the system where, in solid colors will be visible on the system. If the line is visible during the test, then the screen is defective.

    If these two tests pass and then make sure that the system ins safe mode with network to eliminate the operating system.

    I hope this helps. If there are questions more respond to this message.

    Nice day!

    Sincere greetings,

  • Qosmio G30: blue vertical lines and crash dump blue screen

    I have a Qosmio G30, model No. PQG32C-AV605E with BIOS Version 3.40.
    I want to update 3.90, but I can't get into Windows.

    How update the BIOS without windows available?
    Y at - it a utility BACK?

    If so, please send and I will download it or send me an email on where to download.
    The G30 that I has vertical lines blue on the screen when the computer starts in VGA mode entering into Windows for the first time.

    But the machine can not get into windows, it freezes and dumps and restarts before that.
    I replaced the RAM with new RAM, but it has no effect.

    I ran the diagnostics utility and hard drives are OPTIMAL in RAID 1, so no errors there.
    Reinstalling Windows went well: I can't do it in VGA mode without lines.

    Toshiba technical support told me that an upgrade of BIOS fix it.

    Thanks for any help.

    Hello

    have you tried to plug the external monitor? If it still shows blue vertical lines, the reason is a failure of the graphics card. (You can also reinstall Windows to check the related issue of f it's Os). Otherwise, contact the after-sales service.

  • Blue vertical line appear on the screen of the series M Satellite

    I had a blue vertical line appear on my screen its about inch thick and is at - it start, can someone tell me if I can get rid of him? Thank you.

    Hello

    If this blue line is present from the first second after turning on the laptop that I presume it's because of the faulty graphics card. To be sure try to connect an external display to see the same thing will happen. If Yes, it is the evidence that this line occurs due to faulty hardware.

  • Qosmio G15: Green vertical lines on the screen

    All started an ordinary day, when I was playing music on my iTunes.
    All of a sudden my screen went black and the music stopped, but my power button is always blue. Since then, whenever I try to start it, it goes on the Qosmio screen and Windows XP screen and plays the startup sound, but there all those green vertical lines on the screen. And then it goes black and tsays in this way.

    I was able to use Windows VGA (whatever that means) with lines all over the screen, but I am not able to start normally. Does anyone have any suggestions or have had the same problem? Please help me!

  • Satellite M70-339 vertical lines on the screen

    Hello...

    I have a Satellite M70-339, which will show only the vertical lines on the screen.
    I connected an external monitor and booted in safe mode.
    I uninstalled the display drivers.
    I started to monitor and reinstalled the display drivers.
    The computer will now boot up screen.

    I put the display to indicate to both monitor and screen.

    On the monitor, all right.
    On the screen, I get vertical lines color, similar to a wallpaper (wallpaper is not pretty).

    Did anyone has got any ideas what could be the problem, or how to diagnose the problem
    Any help would be appreciated.

    John C

    If everything is OK on the external monitor that is the best evidence that this problem is related to the internal LCD. Display must be exchanged.

  • Qosmio G10 has vertical lines on the screen

    I have a G10 which I use for the last 15 months since I bought it.
    However, there are now 4 vertical lines on the screen, 2 Purple (magenta?), 1 yellow and 1 cyan. Other than these lines there are no other problems, it never fell down or something like that.

    The lines are still there, they do not change in any way and are always in the same place. They appear on the screen at first power up, before the Qosmio logo lights up.

    They have not all appear at the same time, they all appeared individually in the past two months. I've seen the last of them disappear briefly, then stay on.

    I guess that my screen is dying slowly, I guess to be an expensive item.

    Any advice thrown my way would be greatly appreciated!

    I took a picture of the screen you will find at:

    http://www.imagebucket.NET/images/lldata/displaylines.jpg

    Note: the photo was taken with Media Player full screen on a black image, just to clearly show the lines)

    Hello

    I suggest you connect an external display to check if it's a graphics card or a display problem. If cela pipes appears also on the external screen then it could also be a problem with the graphics card.
    If these lines do not appear on the external display while the display of the laptop has a malfunction.
    However, this does not change your situation. I recommend you contact the Toshiba ASP to solve this problem.

  • Qosmio G10 begins with vertical lines on the screen

    Hello, can anyone help?

    When I try to start my sign qosmio G10 comes on with vertical lines on the screen. And the screen goes black and I can only hear the fan.
    In VGA mode, it begins upward, but always with the lines on the screen.
    Is there something wrong with the video card? In my view, that there are more people with this problem.
    Toshiba offered little help?

    I'm 'out out of warranty '. I need to by a new complete motherboard or y at - it another option? Replace the video card?

    Hello

    Its a shame about the warranty because you ask the service partner Toshiba for the verification of the laptop and this procedure would be free. You know, the warranty would cover the audit of the laptop.

    But I would say the external display connection and then you can check if the same vertical lines appear on the external display.
    If you see the lines on the second monitor, then I guess it could be something wrong with the graphics card or motherboard.

    I think that this procedure is the best way to find out what could be the problem, but anyway, I think you should ask a technician for assistance if you want to solve this problem.

    PS: Have you tried to reinstall or update the graphics driver? I think you should do it but I don't know if it will help you, but you know Mr. try is free ;)

    One of my friends had a similar problem with the vertical lines on other mobile manufacturing, and it was a WLan cable which was responsible for the strange lines on the screen.

  • I asked before but everyone has discovered what causes vertical lines on the screen?

    I have vertical lines on my screen about 6 or 7 and his worst do. They go to various shades of pink, green and yellow. I asked if anyone knew the answer later when there was only 1, and even if other people had this problem no one knew the answer. Has anyone discovered yet because its getting so irritating, I think I need a new machine. Any suggestions gratefully received.

    Rupture of the membranes that make up the screen is what causes the problem.

    Rupture may be caused by indifferent manufacturing, overzealous pressure while cleaning and old age.

    Sometimes the graphics card can go wrong, but they will generally 'very bad', not just some annoying lines on the screen.

    In the end, you will have t get the screen replaced... :-)

I also tried to open and restore in safe mode, but again nothing. If anyone can help, please explain in detail. Thank you!

    Hello

    If the line is there in all modes, then we could indeed in the material of the monitor or a
