Screen Problems

[Magic]

Hello all,

So I have been getting this for a very long time now and haven't found a fix for this. I don't know what it is but it happens a lot just generally. Dragging the window around usually helps or hover your mouse over it but it also happens in games and I have had enough. I really hope one of you knows how to fix it. Some screenshots below...

Look in the back of your computer for the cable that belongs to monitor and check if it's connected properly. If that doesn't work just by a new monitor,

Its a laptop, Dell Studio. Maybe a loose cable?

If you're still under the one year warranty that the manufacturer and the store that you bought it from provide then you can get a replacement.

Nope, But it's a loose/faulty cable in the laptop?

Yes, may be the problem. What store did you buy it from?

Id say a cable inside the computer. Also, Ray William x] nice one

Online, In like 08/09. It sort of bothers me but I plan on getting a new computer so I am not going to fix it.

Looks/sounds like a graphics card problem, try installing/updating drivers.

This could be the problem. Well if you're getting a new one and don't plan on fixing this one, you could always trade it in at a local pawn shop for some extra cash towards your next computer purchase.

That's a problem with an internal wire inside the laptop, not the graphic card itself (or its drivers).

So there is nothing I can really do about it unless I get someone to open the Laptop and fix it?

Yep, unless you want to open it yourself

I think Macemore is right, because stuff like the chrome header and the Windows 7 menu are still working good. Try checking your drivers.
