Blue screen with several white lines
« on: December 09, 2009, 12:33:55 PM »
Hello!
 I have a Acer Aspire 5050 (POS)
 It has Vista Home basic
 1GB RAM
 AMD 2.2 Ghz

This is a basic laptop I bought a few years ago for my wife's business. Recently it has been crashing giving me a blue screen with what I would call white lines horizontally across the screen. It will stay on this screen until I turn off the power. I have to try to turn it on a few times to get it going again. When it crashes I can be surfing or not even in the room. Any ideas would be very helpful.
 Thank You!

Most likely overheating...

Try cleaning all vents/ports as best you can...
