Major problem with laptop screen

by dallas137 - 4/19/11 6:17 PM

My problem is that my screen is constantly "freezing up." This means that, although the computer work, and any actions i do while it is "frozen" are still done, I can't see anything. What it does is the pixels stop changing into the correct color they need to be to display the screen, and instead slowly become random streaks of color across my screen. I am positive it is a hardware problem, because if i take a screenshot, it show the correct screen. I believe it has something to do with burnt-out something-or-others, because my computer was constantly extremely hot (in 90+ degrees celcius) until i recently bought a chill mat. When i slightly push the screen forward, it works as normal, as long as i keep pressure behind it, however when i let it go it starts to freeze again. This happens at any angle. I hope I have described my problem well-enough, it is sort of hard to explain.

Thanks, Dallas
