    Hi there, having a bit of a problem with my laptop at the moment and was wondering if anyone could help.
    When I turn it on, I'm met with a white screen with lots of thin black lines running through it. This then fades to a grey screen. Its happened twice in the last week and went away when it came to putting in my password but this time, it isn't going, despite being left for a while. The laptop hasn't been dropped or anything, this is just random.
    Is it just a problem with the graphics card or is it more serious? Has anyone seen this before?

    Connect an external monitor. If this happens on an external monitor then it is most likely a problem with the graphics adapter.

    If the graphics adapter is on its way out then this is about as serious as it gets since they're usually soldered onto the mainboard and can't be replaced.
