Black has red lines and strange red color pattern in it!

I have an HP Touchsmart 520 - 1030 windows 7 all in one. When I turn on my computer and the Windows icon in the middle of the screen appears what should be a black backrground behind the icon is dark red. Once it boots up completely, everything black has a strange red lines and patterns in it.
Is there a fix for this?

Hi Lysa13,
You could try re-installing the graphics driver. If that doesn't work, it's possible the screen hardware could be starting to have problems.
Here is a link to the graphics driver:

If that doesn't work, you may want to try running a screen test in the hardware diagnostics. Here is a support document that explains how to do the tests:

  • After re-installing my MacBook Pro hard drive, I lost my Firefox/Mozilla 'top banner' (red ,yellow and orange in color) and with it my ability to down load via a small tab located top right on it's bar. How do I get this function back??

    Recently I found it necessary to re-install my entire operating system, and I lost my ability to down load streaming videos. I am an artist almost 70 yrs. old, and am not very computer proficient which is why I purchased a MacBook Pro. I used Firefox/Mozilla to do downloading because it was easy. When I brought my system back up I found that the top 'Firefox banner' had changed from red, orange and yellow in color to shades of gray. With this change found that I no longer had the download 'tab' to click on to initiate downloads (located top right on the Firefox top section).
    I've tried re-installing Firefox and Antbar download helper but am still not able to download. How do I get the download capability back again???? ......roxor999

    Your storage device is probably faulty.  It would be helpful if you indicated the EXACT model/year MBP that you have.

  • Is there a way to get rid of those "red lines and boxes" that surround email text?

    The red lines and boxes I refer to in the question do not cause any real problems, but editing email, cut and pasting, etc., can get a little complicated with them appearing in the text of an email. I couldn't see any setup or option that referred to these red lines and boxes. Can they be eliminated? Thanks!

    You are seeing combing arifacts due to the computer monitor's inability to display interlaced video correctly.
    This is particularly noticable when the Canvas is set to a size value other than 100%.
    If the end product is meant to be put back on DVD and shown on a TV it will not be an issue, if you are going to the web, change your field dominance to none in the Sequence settings before exporting (or in Compressor, which will do a better job).
    Don't change it while editing - this will mean you have to constantly render.

  • Red line and beeps when trying to apply Audio Filters in FCE

    I'm using FCE 4.0.1 and am getting red line and beeps when trying to apply Audio Filters. I have rendered the files. No problems with audio otherwise.

    Just as a point of clarification, you stated that you were "getting red line and beeps when trying to apply Audio Filters"  Did you mean when you applied audio filters?  Or just when you were trying to apply them?
    What is the format, sampling rate and bit depth of the audio?   Does it happen just with certain filters or with any filters applied?

    Hi John,
    I would take your machine into a Apple service center. Its highly likely a hardware issue. The most likely issue being the display has failed. If there is no external damage to the machines display they will replace the whole display under warranty for you.

  • Using  Adobe Premiere CS3 (ver. 3.2) with Microsoft AVI DV files (4:3, 48Khz) on timeline now ask render (red line) and before didnt.Proyect is DV NTSC standard 48Khz. What it could be?

    Hi,
    Normally during months the edition was done with Microsoft AVI DV Files (4:3 NTSC 48 Khz). No effects (just cuts). Proyect settings as DV-NTSC Standard 48 KHz
    Since today when the work is done in a new or old proyect (DV-NTSC Standard 48 KHz) and  if the same file (Microsoft AVI DV) is loaded to timeline now is showing a red line over the video on timeline (so requires render). There no effects. This never happens before. it is very weird.
    The Premiere is CS3 ver 3.2.0.
    This is  happening to 2 computers with the same version.So far I know there is no changes on the systems
    I was thinking to reisntall 3.0 and then test and the update to 3.2...
    Any idea?

    Hi,
    It worked once in one of the computers. (AVi DV didnt show render red over line). BUt afterwards the problem got back. The only solution so far was to reinstall premiere, update to 3.2.0 in both pc.
    It worked for a while then problems was again. Reinstalled for second time, so far 2 days still ok.. It is very weird. I unchecked updates from cs3 and windowsfor just in case has any relation.
    Thanks for your tip anyway.

  • Help - ipod shows red lines and displays white screen?

    This is the 3rd Ipod Touch, 4th Generation, I've had in 2 years.  Something has been wrong with each one of them.  The one I have now is only 2 months old and unfortunately my Apple Care Warranty has expired, last month.  I was not allowed to purchase a new Apple Care warranty for the new Ipod, so basically I am stuck with another "lemon".  Here's the problem, this time.
    My Ipod shows 2 thin red lines which extend half way across the screen from left to right, upper left corner when holding Ipod vertically.  sometimes when turning the Ipod on, the screen is almost all white and I can barely see the time and "slide to unlock".  It always happens when I plug into power.  Also, the red lines flash bright white at times and then extend across the entire screen.  If I take a picture of it, (holding down power and home buttons) it looks normal.
    Has anyone else had such a problem?  Can anyone suggest a solution?  I'd like to take this to Apple and say, "What the heck?"  Is it policy to replace a defective product with one that they wouldn't sell in their store but is OK to give as a replacement?  I love my Ipod Touch, but this is extemely frustrating!
    IPod Touch, 4th Generation, IOS 6.0.1

    I have not seen that problem here before. Likely a hardware bproblem but
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    No. The replacment is a refurbished one that should work like new.

  • My kid just got an iPod 5th gen (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line and lightning symbol. No other response at all.

    Sorry about the long title.....its my first post.
    My kid just got a brand new iPod 5th generation (today from Santa) and it won't power up or charge. The only response is when I connect the USB and press the power button or front button the Battery appears with red line on left and lightning symbol below. There is no other response at all no matter what I do, including holding both buttons down for extended period.  My other kid got one and it works perfectly.....I have interchanged usb cables ports etc. but still no response....I would really appreciate any help.

    In the BPM standalone 10g, I hightlight one instance and click the link of process image.
    In the pop window, the flag is in the current activity. However, the red line is still in the first activity.
    Why they are not in the same place.?

  • Disco, red lines and general desktop distortions!

    Hi all,
    I've discussed my mac problems on here before which are ongoing but to get a different take on it I'm just posting a particular problem.
    When switching on my mac I sometimes get red lines over my desktop, I went to restart and I got full screen flashes of white, purple, grey and pixels. Sometimes my icons are pixelated and I had my desktop have squares which look like distorted desktop backgrounds. This with freezing means I have to do 4-6 manual restarts before it works!
    Any idea what could cause this?

    No, but I would try with a different graphics card (if possible) and different monitor (and/or adapter).

  • Red line with matching red dot imovie 11

    Hi All,
    I'm just getting to know iMovie 11 and am now only baffled by a few things.. One of which is this red vertical line with a red dot that I sometimes make appear on the timeline... I'm not sure what it's for but would love to know! I've tried searching online to figure it out but I assume because I don't know what it's called, it's very hard to find anything about it...
    Does anyone know what I mean and can you point me in the right direction of where to find out what it is and how it's used?
    Thanks!

    I found a work around... If you copy and paste the video files into the events folder it adds them when you create a new project. I'm not really happy about doing it this way, but at least I can finish editing my clips

  • Black Screen with lines and beeping

    While using my MacBook Pro it sometimes randomly goes black with purple lines on the display and beeps repeatedly. I can't control anything and have to turn it off by pressing the power button and then back on to access the MacBook.
    I have already taken the MacBook to apple to look at, as it had a problem earlier where it wouldn't boot (just went to a blank white screen) and they ended up replacing the motherboard.
    I do have an alert saying 'Service Battery' in the bar at the top, so could this problem be a battery problem? Anyone have any ideas?

    If you have a service battery warning it usually means the battery is dead/dying which can cause many issues, and should be replaced ASAP so as to not cause further problems. You can try a SMC (System Managemet Control) reset:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    Follow directions for a battery you should not remove yourself.
    You can also try a NVRAM/PRAM reset (Link at the bottom of the page above)
    You can also have one of the issues ap0llo_* has mentioned, even having the main board replaced does not always mean the new is good, I've had to have one replaced 2 times on one of my machines before. It could be a bad GPU, cable, cable not seated correctly...
    But the service battery could be the culprit, at any rate you probably need to have that replaced, and should bring it in for service.
    There also may be an issue with the RAM, possibly bad or not seated correctly.
    All the best
