Hi there! I personally have experienced the same thing and even until now I'm still facing with that problem sometimes. How long have you bought your laptop? Depending on how long you've been using it, it may be video card or hardware problems. Computer parts eventually die out or malfunction slowly. You may need to replace some part of your hardware. It you think your video card is still new or still capable of handling games, programs that require high video performance, it may be the problem is your LCD. Try asking your manufacturer or a professional computer technician for your problem.

Hello Sammy,

First check your laptop with an external monitor. If you still have a problem you laptop might have some serious problem in ribbon cable or  video driver chip on the motherboard .

You have to replace the ribbon cable or motherboard to solve this problem.

Hope this information helps you.

Hi Sammy,

If the problem occurs when you start the laptop, then  it may be hardware problem. But if it occurs after complete loading, then it may be your operating system or some software problem. So formatting your laptop would resolve it.

You can also check your bios setup, if problem persists then you can reinstate your systems bios.

If you still don't find a solution, then problem may be with your motherboard or a Chip with your IC on the motherboard. Replacing your IC would solve the issue.
