Squiffy Laptop Screen

The screen goes 'liney'. It sort of flickers with green lines all over it. Tried restarting, and then I get an error message, but it doesn't specify the error, just recommends restarting.

It was fine the first time I turned it on ~ it's 2nd hand ~ and then it went squiffy. It was suggested that the memory could be loose, but I wouldn't know how to check that?

What do you think?
I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    It is easy enough to reseat the memory - it may not help, but worth a try.
    What is the make/model of laptop?
    Do you get the error in Windows - what is the OS?
  • You might want to look at re-installing the video drivers.
