Laptop help - Prof. Gohan

Ok, I just got home not too long ago and hooked up my laptop like usual and it's not acting quite right. On the internet(as far as I know right now) When I scroll down or up, a while screen with blue dots pops up for a split second and does it everyone now and then when I scroll up or down a page.

Any idea on what the problem could be?

It might be your graphics card.

What's that and why would that be messed up?

I left my laptop running in my bag while I was working. It should have died about 30- to an hour in, but could that be the reason?

Also: When I got home and opened up the laptop, there was a message from the control panel saying that I had like 6 errors or something wrong with my computer. When I went to the control panel to check it out, it all it said was something like troubleshooting.

I'm not sure. I did a Google search and the graphics card was the only thing that came up that appeared to be troublesome for a couple people. :/

Did you try just restarting the laptop?

Alright, thank you.

But one more thing: I'm starting to notice it only does it on DBZF -- but on other tabs such as Google and others, it's not even doing it. Maybe it's something going on with the forum and my computer? I dunno. But I wonder if I should feel better that it's only doing it on DBZF but not other sites & tabs.

Did you check to make sure it's only happening in one browser?

Yeah, it's happening in other ones. Even on Kanzenshuu. Something's messed up, gotta get it checked out now.

Mine does it all the time, I assume it's just a little laggy. do you have multiple tabs open at the same time? And does this happen on all forums like this?

It just started doing this yesterday. So far it's only doing it on DBZF and Kanzenshuu. I haven't really seen it on FB or Google or anything yet.

Morning Prof, I work in IT support (I actually do), so I may be able to help!

If it happens on multiple browsers, it's not the software, so it may very well be the graphics card that people have suggested. I think the only direct way you could find is to replace it and see if that makes any difference. Would it possible to provide a screen shot of the fault, so I can see it? (If not no worries!)

At very worst, you could boot the machine from the setup desk, and wipe it clean (just in case its some sort of software problem), and again see if that does it.

Regardless of what you want to do with it, remember to back up your information, as you may lose it during the various process.

Hope that helps!

1.) Try updating your graphics card driver
2.) Uninstall and reinstall Chrome.
3.) Try using another browser to see if it does the same thing.

Go to the companies website and download the latest driver and install it. If you don't know the company, do this:
Start - All Programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Information - Components - Display

Then look at your graphics card.

As for another Browser, you could do IE but IE is awful. Try Firefox.
