When did this issue start? Did you recently reload the system? Are you watching high graphics video on a low-graphics laptop?

Its either signal cable, signal cable connector (or both) or screen. You need to see a technician to check it for you. if you need someone call or whatsapp 08164685979

I'm having issues with my system today.. When I try booting the system once it gets past the HP logo stage it immediately goes blank. I don't know what's wrong. ( I used it to play PES till around 1am yesternight)

I've removed and fixed the battery still no solution

I got infected with StartPageing123.com virus and it seems that there is no way to get rid of it. Page appears on chrome and firefox and provides various links. These ads are very distracting, so I want to get rid of them. Typical removal guides like this don't seem to help. What should I do? I can't reformat

Download superantispyware or malwarebyte to detect and clean the virus.
