Any pc/laptop people on r3v?

Different chip on the board sometimes. Yea, let it cool down - see if that does it.

Ah shit, I forgot. All of my laptops have had dedicated cards with no integrated graphics.

That's what the computer repair guy told me so that's all I know!

If his video card died, how is that same card showing a perfect screen on its external monitor port?

Hm?






More often than not, I've seen this happen when things overheat. Turn it off and let it cool down a bit to see what happens.
Chances are it's going to be screen, or connection related.

The same thing happened to my GF's laptop. Try moving/tilting the screen. The problem is your display. You need a new display probably.

yes, but for real though, I used to have a 20" CRT monitor that weighed 75 or so pounds and was 20" deep sitting there and it kinda ruined the wall behind it.

I was thinking the same thing about a fucked video card, but my second display works fine? No issues playing COD on this thing still

Are those jizz stains on the wall?

Oh and just to shorthand this thread.

- "get a mac bro"
- "PC is better"
- "I super cool so I run unbuntu"
- "I'm on a C64"

(BTW - that looks like your video card died)

I was just browsing r3v when randomly this happened.




I'm running an external display off the laptop and as you can see the external display is running correctly, and the laptop screen is fubar.

This is not my computer... How can I fix this?
