My Gateway Laptop is acting very funny. About 2 months ago I reformatted it, and itwas running perfectly. Then just the other day, I turned on the machine, watched the "gateway" screen, then watched the "Windows XP" screen (where there is a blue status bar or whatever) then....the screen went black... and made the windows welcome sound. I thought this was very strange. So I plugged an external monitor from my Desktop computer into the back, and the screen was perfectly displayed on the Desktop monitor. Is this a hardware issue with the LCD of the laptop? Is it possible it is a virus or anything? I will reformat the hard drive again to see if it helps any, even though I don't want to. Just give me any ideas if you have any
