So, I'm already assume I know what is causing this issue, but I would like some insight from you Skial tech nerds on if there is something else I can do to try and fix it.
Story:
So the other day I was using my ancient laptop, when suddenly, these white bars started coming across the screen, until the whole screen turned white then shut off completely (no backlight). The laptop froze up right as the white bars started showing up, and now I can't really turn it on and use it for any longer than 10 minutes before it does it again.
Is it really the GPU or CPU being either fried or dead? Could the video software on the PC be outdated or corrupted and causing this? Help?
