PROBLEMS! Barcode looking screen. Processer? Virus? I Provided much information?
Ok so every now and then when i am on the computer my computer sometimes goes to a screen that looks like a barcode. i do not understand this and i have looked into it but have found nothing… so now i am asking you. My computer is a little over a year old so its not age. I have been told by other people that it sounds like things ranging from a loose wire to a file in my temp. internet files that is affecting my screen. I have looked into both things but have been unsuccessful. Please if you have any information about this or know how to fix it please alert me becuase im sick and tired of being in the middle of doing a paper and the laptop just freezes up and goes to a compleatly full barcode looking screen.
~ BTW the light at the bottom signaling that the processer is working (which is what i think that light means). You know the one that will flash on and off telling you that the computer is doing something… well that little light compleatly just shuts off and whatever i do it will not start back up untill i hard restart it.

Not a Blue screen it litterly looks like a Barcode. That is the best way i can decribe it… It has white and black lines all the way across the screen about 1/2 inches apart
I didnt install anything that i know of to harm my computer
~PLEASE HELP ME I HAVE SPENT HOURS OF MY LIFE TO SAVE THIS COMPUTER =(

Best answer:

Sounds like a video card issue.
