U330 white bar flashing on screen

I had problems recently where a white bar on my computer screen flashes u330 laptop. The bar is all the way up the screen and about 1.5 inches wide. It flashes quickly and somewhat at random, according to what you are working on. This problem started occurring in the past few weeks. At first, it seemed related to streaming video online, especially when the video wasn't in the 'front' of all open windows, but it seems to have got slightly worse. It seems also occur frequently when just on the free desktop without windows or when switching between windows.

A quick google search revealed that this problem is specific to the u330 laptop (http://social.answers.microsoft.com/Forums/en-IE/vistaappearance/thread/942f6091-a008-4fca-b738-e787...)

As several other lenovo u330 of users have encountered this same problem recently, I think that it is probably a problem of software potentially related to video or graphics cards. Any ideas or suggestions?

  • dv2500 screen flashes and freezes and the white bars (oh my)

    Have a dv2500, (or dv2530ea if you want really specific). The screen flickers and freezes of once power is on. I also get random horizontal white bars. When the screen freezes happening slowly in white. A small amount of pressure to parts of the monitor case can return to the normal screen that will it stay like that without maintaining a constant pressure can be difficult.

    It is out of warranty.

    This can be corrected? Should I open up? Just a bad connection somewhere maybe?

    -All right, so just in case where any googling leads anyone here I thought I should give the solution, (I have found elsewhere ¬). The problem got worse, anyway. The screen shot for this fade to white mixed with white lines problem to have color of the horizontal lines. The colored lines seemed corrospond to what should be displayed on a single line of the display. Unfortunately, this single line has been posted on all lines of the screen, which gives these horizontal lines. And not intermittently, constantly. Fixable by applying pressure to the screen, but it means to have a screen of work I could not take my hand off the monitor case, not an ideal scenario by a stretch.

    Anyway, it turns out the circuits at the rear of the Panel led made a bad contact somewhere. There was something communicating with display circuit which should not have been in contact with led back panel, give me my damaged screen. To resolve this issue, open the window of degonder the display panel and find the offending area. I did it by applying pressure in specific areas and slide the paper behind the circuit on the rear panel (this obligatory sheet of aluminum at the top of the screen, which was not a problem of lifting, it's just paper). With the bad identified contact area, I could get some plain paper business cards and stuff (quietly) between the plate and the rear panel. Solve the problem. One to the down and dirty round, but very effective and - I believe - very stable one.

    Your system may have done something after the update.  It was just after the installation?

    -J' noticed when I did a check of the complete material on my system that time was incorrect (quoted in 30 minutes - took 90 minutes) and that most of the time the activity bar wasn't moving - then gave the impression he was frozen.

    Have your support I have tried calling Apple or set up a call from them - their updates are not transparent to the users - and what I've read here seem to require an IT professional to deal with.

  • with the auto more recent updated version of firefox now there is a white bar that appears when you move your mouse over this area. I want that gone, how?

    When you move your mouse below the address bar opens a white bar, making it so you can't click on buttons or links on sites, like buttons connection for example. also when using the full screen, you can no more mouse on the tabs at the top of the screen, only this white bar appears. This prtty much kills its use full screen for me. Thus, this white popup bar and mode full screen with the white bar without tabs firefox has pretty much ruined it for me. in any case to fix it would be great.

    Launch Firefox in Mode safe

    While you are in safe mode;

    Firefox Options > advanced > General.

    Find and stop using hardware acceleration.

  • Problem starting. Rectangle white bars appear.

    This problem started to happen after a clean Windows XP installed on my C: drive formatted.

    Whenever I turn on my PC, it displays the BIOS Intel/HP as usual, then the black screen for about 15 seconds.

    Then the white rectangular bars appear on the bottom of my screen. These bars fill up like a progress bar and it take about 2 minutes.

    Then it shows the loading of the operating system Windows XP and resumes the boot upward as usual, no problems later.

    My question is how can I get rid of this progress bar white on startup, to save 2 minutes of start time.

    I tried the following:

    Running the console to repair Windows XP and running CHKDSK/r

    -No problems have been found.

    Repair Windows XP files with disk.

    He seemed to have solved this problem myself.

    After approximately 67 resets, the problem seems to correct itself.

    But later, I got the problem again.

    If I booted up just my computer with the Windows XP Recovery disk,

    I chose to format the drive fast, before you install Windows XP on the partition, and it worked.

    I have more white bars at the start up.

  • Upgrade of Windows 8 has changed my graphics card driver, & now I get vertical bars on the screen.

    Upgrade of Windows 8 has changed my graphics card driver, & now I get vertical bars on the screen, sometimes flashing. It is sometimes difficult to use the screen, especially when it has a dark background. It is a HP Desktop quad core with card Nvidia GEForce 9600.  I tried to roll back the driver, but that didn't help. I assume that the driver I need is no longer available. I also went to Nvidia to try to find a better driver that would eliminate this problem, but no luck.  Before, this came with an update on Vista, & I could correct in the way to roll back the driver. Any help would be appreciated.

    Go to www.nvidia.com and download the WHQL 306,97 drivers updated successfully.

    With the installation of Windows 8, Microsoft provides only the "bare" minimum drivers in order to complete the installation of Windows.

  • White bar deleting everything on Adobe products

    I have Photoshop Elements on my Mac laptop for about three years. Last week, a small white horizontal bar has popped up in the bottom of my screen. After the white bar is displayed, even if I click the X and close out, everything I click on Photoshop is removed. It is therefore impossible to type any text. The white bar is also on Adobe Reader and it does not appear anywhere else on my laptop, so I am confident that it is a problem for Adobe. Any ideas what this is and how I can get rid of him?

    Looks a bit like the dictation of MacOS 'characteristic' which causes problems in many programs, until it is turned off.

    Whenever I finished to recover I have "windows loading files" and once this is done, it shows me the so-called "blue screen of death"...

    Hello

    I m afraid. I have bad news for you ;(
    I think you ve you have a problem with the hardware in my eyes, there might be something wrong with the GPU chip.
    The white lines on the screen could be related to a faulty graphics card and get the BSOD error due to a hardware malfunction or software serious questions

    I m sure that the recovery CD does not contain software problems and therefore only the fault of hardware could be the reason for the lines on the screen and the BSOD.

    In my opinion, you should contact the ASP in your country for assistance if all goes well you guarantee is valid.

    Good luck
