My computer has been randomly going to a black screen and having white random blink white lines flash horizontally across it. Also it has gone to a full screen gray with black diagonal hash marks.
I have videos and pictures of the screen.
<<email snipped>> if you wanna see the screen and think you can help
Jump to PostWhat model of HP do you have. I can check the asp site for service alerts. My first thought is MOBO/grfx problem. Have you tried connecting to external monitor?
Jump to Postits an HP Pavilion 9700 and I used to have an external monitor, but I haven't used it in a few weeks.
You will need to look at the bottom of your notebook. 9700 is the series. There will me a model number that looks something like this XX000 xx …
okay, I'll just keep checking back here instead of the email thing.

You will need to look at the bottom of your notebook. 9700 is the series. There will me a model number that looks something like this XX000 xx = 2 numbers 000 = 3 number. You will need to match that to this service release.
