GE70-0ND Screen flashing black and gray
Hey,
I bought a MSI GE70-0ND laptop almost 1 year ago. I have not had any problems with it until now.
I run Windows 8 on it.
Today when I logged in on my laptop the screen just immediately went black. Now it is flashing black and gray. When I move the mouse you can see the cursor moving on the screen. The special buttons such as fan boost works.
I tried connecting my laptop to another screen with a HDMI cable. The other screen showed the same flashing screen..
My laptop forced me to upgrade and install something yesterday. I think it was a windows update but I to be honest, don't know. I suspect that that update is causing this..
Any help will be appreciated. If you want additional information that I failed to provide above, let me know!
Thanks,
msikiuru

What happens if you do a CTRL+ALT+DELETE? Can you see the screen just fine?
Taking a video and posting it to youtube might also be very helpful, as this is the first time I've ever heard of this issue.
Hi, thanks for answering.
The problem fixed itself after a while. I have no idea about why it did.
CTRL+ALT+DEL did absolutely nothing.

IMac screen flashes black and white when returning to top sites or screen saver
iMac screen flash black and white when returning to top sites or before sleep...any ideas why?
Howdy OatsaMae,
It sounds like your screen is flashing unexpectedly on you for some reason. I would recommend this section from the following article to help you get that resolved, named:
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
Reset the system
You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC.
Reset the resolution
Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
Start up in Safe Mode.
From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
Restart your computer.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Take care,

this started a week ago or almost 3 inches of the bottom of the page is black/gray solids,
if I go to internet explorer this doesn't happen or if i go to chrome no problem.
so i only have a little bit more than a half of screen to work with.
I have to an reset my computer, at a earlier date, then this screen goes away, but when I close down

Any more suggestions please. Thank you
Also When I go to internet explorer I don't have this problem. -
TS3274 What to do after being dropped? Now screen is black and gray.
What do I do if I dropped an Ipad and now it has a black/gray screen and won't do anything?
Sorry, but dropping is accidental damage, and it's not covered by your warranty. You can take it to the apple store and see wha they can do or see about an 'out of warranty replacement', read pay a reduced fee to swap out your broken one for a refurbished replacement.

Screen flashes black and then shows slide to power off
While playing music the screen repeatedly flashes to black then flashes to the slide to power off screen. When I tap cancel it usually works for a few min before doing it again but sometimes it flashes between the black screen and the itunes screen several times before showing the slide to power off screen.

MB screen flashes on and off...HELP!
Just got a new macbook for my wife. Came from Apple with 2 sticks of 256mb RAM. I added 2 1gb Patriot sticks from Newegg. all seemed well. but now under load, not full load just opening apps, the screen flashes black and then after a few seconds it comes back on. It happens often enough to be annoying.
Here's what I did:
1. Replaced with apple shipped ram.- Doesn't seem to occur, so I figured bad ram...
2. Ran memtest on both stick individually. 3 passes on each stick
3. Reset PMU as advised by AppleCare
Still could be bad ram but...
1. I pulled the two 1gb APPLE RAM sticks from my 17" MBP, still occured.
2. Tried the Patriot 1gb sticks in my MPB, all is fine.
So I don't think it is bad ram?
Any helpers out there? Apple wants to blame 3rd party RAM, but their ram that shipped with my MBP exhibit's the problem too...My screen was flashing just like yours and failed tonight, 20 days into the purchase. Take it back and get a refund. Don't take another macbook until they get all of these quality control issues worked out. This was my third macbook and I had not been having any problems, but was experiencing the flash. It is starting up in the background and can be used in target disk mode, so the issue is the screen. Return while you can, it will eventually go out completely.

My ipod nano 5th gen. won't play movies or tv shows but it plays them on itunes. When I click on it the screen flashes black. I have tried taking the videos off my ipod and then putting them back on but it still won't work. what should i do?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up. Restored multiple times and didn't work. Ipod works with Itunes fine (can put music and podcasts on the ipod), but can't take songs off of the ipod. Using windows xp and everything is up to date. Any ideas of how to fix it?
I didn't know that it was posted three times. My computer didn't say that it posted anything.
My ipod still syncs to itunes and I can put podcasts and music on my ipod, but I can't delete songs after I put them on the ipod. When I try to delete songs I try to delete it from the main music list on the ipod. It's also doing all the other stuff that I posted before. The screen will go black and then the power off slider thing shows up for a few seconds, then it'll show the unlock slider bar. Then goes black again. It will also do that when I have the ipod unocked and changing songs or playing a game. I've restored it to the factory default/new ipod and it still does the same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and then restored it again to the factory default and it's still doing the same exact thing. I checked and my computer is up to date. -
When i am starting the macbook pro, the screen was flashing black and white, and then to color to color, and the whole process repeat all over again, is there any suggestion in solving this, or is there no way to solve this and i need to bring it to the apple support?
My computer Spec:
Macbook pro Version 2011Sounds as if you're having a problem with your GPU (graphics card). Only Apple can diagnose and fix this, so the best thing would be to take your machine into your local Apple Store or an AASP.

Black and gray bars are scrolling across the iPad screen?
Yesterday my iPad started scrolling black and gray bars
Try a reset by holding the power and home keys down until the Apple logo appears. If that does not work, take it in for diagnosis.

Strange black and gray lines and lockup as soon as MBP powers on
I was surfing the web, and opened a particular tab when the 26" Samsung display that I use with my MBP yellowed and just weirded out in general. All of the colors funked out, and all kinds of plaid patterns appeared. Then I had a kernel panic. I disconnected everything from the notebook (FireWire hard drives, audio interfaces, USB drives, USB mouse, etc.) and restarted it.
Now, black and gray horizontally-staggered lines are all that show up on the screen. It happens immediately after the screen lights up. I've zapped the pram, tried to reset the video ram in open firmware mode, reset the SMU, tried to boot from CD, but nothing gets rid of these weird lines. Also, the computer doesn't appear to be doing anything (i.e. if I let it sit, it's still unresponsive several minutes later). If I hold down "Option" when I turn on the MBP, press the "right arrow" key and then hit "enter," the screen turns black and stays black, but caps lock starts responding (neither the internal nor external screen displays anything but black - in fact, the external display doesn't even pick up a signal).
Is this a problem with my motherboard/video card? I have finals coming up and can't really part with this - I hope I don't have to mail it off or take it to an Apple Store (the nearest is nearly 2 hours away). Any help or advice is welcome!Thank you very much for that article! I'll be sure to print it out and bring it along to the Apple Store on Sunday. The problem occurs whether an external display is connected or not. I think it is a video card problem given that the screen immediately goes screwy; it doesn't wait until after the notebook posts or anything.
