M40X-295: display becomes greenish, distorted and then white

While watching a DVD on my satellite nb recently, a greenish grid appeared on my screen. From there on, the image on my screen was blurry and distorted to the point that icons and text were not recognizable any longer.
At one point, a message appeared that "windows is shut down to avoid damaging the computer.

Now, whenever I start the machine, everything is fine for the first 30 seconds to a minute, then the just restarts and the screen is blank.
Sometimes, I have the right of the white screen from the start without any HARD drive activity.

the problem appears in the BIOS, start Windows, and when windows is running.

Is it a driver, display or some other hardware problem? Anyone know?

Hello

you already have this problem when starting or in BIOS, it must be a hardware related failure.

The message "windows is shut down to avoid damaging the computer" normally appears if the computer is overheating. Then maybe you have a problem with the cooling system. And maybe the graphics chip has been damaged.

In any case I don't really know, so it is best to leave the laptop is enabled by service.

Good bye

  • Sound on boot to top... turn crackling, distorted and then no sound

    Hello

    I hope someone could shed some light on my sound problems. My sound started to do. I turn on the computer and the sound seems to work very well, and then after using the computer a bit, the sounds can range from the crackling or distorted and then off. Sometimes, but rarely, the sound will come back from time to time.
    I can restart and the sound is back again... or I can both lose sound, reinstall the driver and I have sound, until the same thing happens.

    any ideas?

    Hello dawn

    It's very strange question. I've never heard of this. Unfortunately, I have no explanation for it, but I can't imagine that it is caused by the wrong driver or something like that. In any case, you can try and remove the sound card in Device Manager, then restart the device. Operating system detects hardware and install the driver.

    Otherwise, maybe is it some problem with connections and the sound is just sometimes.

    As I have already said, it's very strange question. I am very interested in this topic and if you have a solution please let me know.

  • display driver stopped working and then recovers

    What I can do to solve this problem, it recovers after a 4 or 5 seconds!

    Hello

    Here is the explanation for the TDR component. This was introduced in Windows Vista.

    What is a TDR? Windows Vista has a new feature called detection time and recovery (TDR). TDR tries to detect problematic situations and retrieve dynamically to a functional desktop. In operating systems earlier these situations would have led to a freezing of the system and forced customers to restart their PC.

    More information about this feature in Vista can be found here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/hardware/gg487368.aspx.

    Therefore, when you see the error message TDR "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered", you know that the display driver is reset without requiring a reboot.

    I am a novice in Flash - but, I have created a Flash movie and want it to be the first thing that appears when people visit my site, which is set up in GoLive.

    It seems that there is a newer version. But what frequency display would you like to change?

  • IDCS5 displays only a book and then stops, and Adobe knows it

    Greetings,

    My InDesign CS5 7.03 is unable to print several copies of a book on my HP 4200 Laser Jet printers duplex.

    I asked about this problem since last June, when I bought CS5.

    After several months of work on this, I thought that Adobe knows that idcs5 cannot print multiple copies of a book imposed on HP printers.

    My old IDCS2 imposed books print multiple copies, using the same computer os 10.5.9 iMac and printers.

    Adobe prepares just disable Mac users with HP printers? What is a rare combo of machines expected to increase competition from unspeakable name available?

    Really, almost a year spent with a company of Adobe design glitch and no one ever said there is an effort to fix the glitch.

    I am the only user of Adobe that uses Mac and HP? Should I switch off Adobe After using it for more than twelve years?

    Best regards, wondering what to do now.

    ViewSonic VT2430-M [Monitor] (24.0 "screws, s/n R4S101790118, April 2010)

    Does not need to update the Nvidia driver because it is up to date and could not update the Viewsonic that Windows only recognizes as "PnP monitor" generic monitor, even if it is described as Viewsonic in the Nvidia Control Panel. Did restore the default values in the video section of the Nvidia Control Panel, and that seems to have solved the problem.

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Install these updates of 2 drivers and then restart the pc and try again see if the problem occurs.

    Another thing that I recommend is trying to reset your settings to default monitor by pressing the MENU button and finding the option defauult of zero/factory reset.

    You can also restore the default settings in the Nvidia Control Panel by clicking on restore by default in most sections.

  • HP C4385 don't scan and then cannot be found by the HP Installer...

    A scanning several pages with my HPC4385 yesterday when the Scanner has suddenly stopped at halfway through a page of scanning.  After a new attempt of several times, the software tells me that scanner could not be initialized.

    I uninstalled the software and tried to reinstall and now HP and HP Setup Setup cannot find the printer/scanner at all?

    Help!

    One other thing to note is HP on the LED flashes quickly after turning the power on.

    I also tried to do a full reset by pressing and cancel at the same time and no change in behaviour

    Hi JABLand thank you for the answer.

    I recommend you to perform a power reset.  Unplug the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug back in the printer. Make sure that you connect the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any surge protector or power bar.

    I recommend then perform a reset of the printer.  Return to the configuration of the system that you were before, by pressing the power and Cancel buttons, then blue, green, and gray buttons.  You can use the reset instructions below:

    Press the black 'Copy' button until the display shows "Reset Menu", then press the "Color copy" button once. Press the black 'Copy' button until the display shows "Reset partial" and then press the button "color copy".  The printer turns off.  Wait 60 seconds and power on the printer at the end of the reset.

    Please let me know how it goes.

  • JavaScript/AJAX - Show image while the update is done and then hide it.

    I want to do an update with AJAX, but I want an image 'pending' to be displayed before the update and then hide later. In this way, if there is a delay in the update or a line lock, the screen freezes not just, it displays an icon of 'Please wait '.
    I use code like the following to record in the database when a field is not checked (does it facilitate the trial):
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function deselect_field(f) {
      f.disabled=true;
      f.className=f.className + " saving";
      
      var v=new htmldb_Get(null,&APP_ID.,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=SC_TEST',0);
      v.add(f.name,f.value);
      v.get()
    
      f.className=f.className.replace("saving"," ");
      f.disabled=false;
    }
    </script>
    The economy class defines the background. I tested without the parameter no and it works fine. I think the problem is ajax is called too quickly, that is to say until the screen has had the chance to update.

    SO-, my question is, how do I get the display of images (animated gif) while the AJAX call is the treatment and then hide it in the end?
    Rather not use JQuery if possible.

    Thank you

  • Satellite A300 PSACGA - display distorts and freezes

    I have a Satellite A300 PSACGA-02V010 running Vista Ultimate.
    The laptop is around the age of 10 months and 12 hours a day for work purposes.

    For some reason there is a few days display distorted (pixelated) and froze.
    The only way to recover was a difficult start. Restarted the laptop it shows the desktop for about 30 seconds and did a repeat freeze performance. I restarted mode safe and it works very well for days.

    I thought there must be something loading at normal startup is causing the problem, so I disabled everything I thought I could do without and restarted in Normal Mode. Once again the office poster for about 30 seconds and then frozen again. I tried to roll using recovery, charging display and BIOS drivers from the Toshiba site but continues to the situation.
    In SafeMode it never freezes up

    Any suggestions?

    Hey great. Happy to know that you have found the solution to this.
    Several times on this forum I write that it is not easy to give an answer or suggestion, what can be done. In any case thanks for the comments.

  • OSX become insensitive and then back to reagent after a few minutes

    I know that there are other discussions about this, but I still write most of the son seems to point to Safari as the culprit, even though I think it's more like a problem with the drivers.

    I have 21.5 "iMac OSX El Capitan 10.11.5 running end of 2012.

    I noticed randomly becomes unresponsive by slowing down quickly until all blocked programs, but the mouse cursor moves again, and the screen saver strikes after some time and I can get by moving the mouse or pressing a key on the keyboard.

    If I wait minutes (10-15 minutes usually) it becomes sensitive.

    I tried to watch the console log, but it seems that everything hangs and then everything comes back to life and nothing is written to the log in the meantime.

    My suspect is that it is either a graphic card or bluetooth issue, but certainly something wrong with some drivers because the same version of Mac OS x on a different material does not suffer from this problem.

    It becomes more obvious when you have Chrome with many tabs open and parallel with a virtual machine running at the same time.

    I tried to nail him with different tools, but because everything becomes insensitive, even diagnostic tools running on that same box are of no use because they just stop and recover as all other processes without even noticing the time gap between the two.

    Is there anyone who has an idea how to debug this problem, either with the external hardware or any other means?

    See you soon!

    Since you're talking about Chrome and parallel: the amount of RAM that iMac has? And how much space to spare?

  • 26.0 Firefox on Mac will not display the site menu bar to make parts of the category. The menu appears briefly and then disappears.

    After the update to version 26.0 (Mac) when you visit the Google Play website, the menu bar of the website that allows you to select the categories disappears. When the page loads, it will appear momentarily and the "speed" icon on the far right (for the setting of preferences). I have cleared the cache, etc, and it still does not work properly.

    The site will work correctly with Safari and worked before this last update.

    When you say that you have disabled the cache, etc, you also deleted your Google cookies?

    If you have not yet tried, and in case this is based on some saved type of parameter based on cookies, after record all pending work, while displaying a page on the site, try either:

    • Right click and select View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies".
    • Menu Tools > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies".

    In the dialog box that opens, you can delete cookies from Google.com individually.

    Then try to reload the page. Who help me?

    On Windows 7, the page is served with this hidden category list, and then a script he slips into the display. It sounds as if this part works well for you, but then he loses visibility after that. You have all the extensions that seem to hide the content of the page, so I don't know what is happening there.
