Laptop showing green screen on startup and login

I keep getting a green screen and my laptop is green. Some help to why this is happening as when I sign in its green as well. One day it was fine now green plus I tried repairing it and no luck. I have a hp touch smart tm2. If I can post a picture I will try.

Hi AkilB,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More.
I saw your post regarding the green screen you are getting with your laptop and I will be happy to help. Besides the green screen does it look like everything is normal on the screen or you are getting an error message? It could be a problem with the actual display screen. Do you have an external monitor that you can connect to the laptop? If you do and the monitor is getting the green screen then we know it is a driver issue but if doesn't happen then we know it is a hardware failure. What operating system are you using? What is the product number for your TouchSmart?

How do I get all users to show on screen upon startup for login?

New MacBook Pro with latest IOS. Yosemite10.10
I got my first MacBook Pro out of the box from the Apple store yesterday...Logged in as an initial admin user...Then I migrated my MacBook Air to it. All three imported users showed. Success!! Then I restarted the MacBook Pro and the startup screen shows only a single login option: The initial admin user login Icon and name that I used on the MacBook Pro just before migrating the other users in from my MacBook Air.
So, I deleted the initial user (I did not need it), so that the other users (already with admin rights) would be the only logical logins that should show upon restart.
Result: The initial "deleted" user shows still, all alone and none of the other users. So I now log in to this "deleted" user, it is very slow to start before the other logins eventually appear after the this delay.
How do I get my users to show at the login screen upon startup and restart?

Go to Settings > General > Date & Time. Make sure your time zone is correct and turn on Set Automatically if it isn't on already.

Green screen upon startup and green pixels afterwards

Last night I switched from the dining room table to the bedroom. When I turned on my laptop in the bedroom (about 10 minutes after moving) it started up by flashing with a black then green screen and would not load. I was able to finally get it to load but when it first starts up it is a green screen that looks like it has diagonal wavy lines with the verbiage in the lower left for pressing esc for boot setup. Once it loads it has green pixels everywhere and when I open control panel where the white is normally, there is purple color. I did notice that a Windows update happened. I have tried to do a system restore but it doesnt get ride of it. I do have pictures but not sure how to post them from my phone.

How to select the desired language in the item Startup and Login Windows?

Users can individually select the language in which applications are displayed by moving the entries in the Language list of the International pane in System Preferences into the desired order. However, this language preference only affects applications started by each user, it does not apply to the startup phase of the operating system and its login window. Under normal circumstances, this kind of language preference can only be set when installing or reinstalling the operating system.
How to modify this language preference without having to reinstall the system. Select the desired language in the item Startup and Login Language ?

The language used by the login window is written in /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist. The file name begins with a dot . , so it is hidden in the Finder.
If it is OK for you to use unix command line, then you can modify this plist file by using "defaults" command as follows (CAUTION! please be careful no to make any mistakes, and do it at your own risk).
Open /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app. and type
cd /Library/Preferences
cp .GlobalPreferences.plist saved-GlobalPreferences.plist
to make a backup copy of the plist. (if you get permission error, then try
sudo cp .GlobalPreferences.plist saved-GlobalPreferences.plist
and enter the admin password.)
Then type
defaults read /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences AppleLanguages
to show the current setting. You can rearrange the list of languages as you like, for example,
defaults write /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences AppleLanguages '(fr en)'
(or sudo defaults write .... if you get permission error)
I think you may make the list as short as you like.
If you don't like to use Terminal.app, then install Xcode (you can find it in Tiger install DVD, or download the latest version from Apple -- you need to register at Apple website to download it). It will install /Developer/Applications/Utilities/Property List Editor.app. You can edit /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist by this app by typing the following into Terminal.app (it's hidden in Finder so you must use Terminal.app to start editing it by Property List Editor):
open /Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist

Shows green screen on start

when i turn on the apple tv its shows green screen and then the tv search for signals..
when i try in anuther tv its work ok.
aneyone can help? i only have the apple tv 4 days.

Do you have any of the purchase paperwork that came with your iMac. It might have some of the info on it, i.e. the CPU type and
First see if you can Boot into Safe Mode, Mac OS X: Starting up in Safe Mode. If you can you can access the About This Mac menu option and the System Report from there to see if you have the recalled graphic card.
If that fails see if you can Boot into the Recovery volume (boot with the Command + R keys held down) and access the About this Mac info from there.
Or look on the iMac for the serial number and compare to this info:
t
he iMacs must fall in the following serial number configurations:
The last four characters of the serial number must contain one of the following groups (for example, xxxxxxxxDHJQ):
DHJQ, DHJW, DL8Q, DNGH, DNJ9, or DMW8
DPM1, DPM2, DPNV, DNY0, DRVP, DY6F, F610
If the iMac falls within one of the above the serial number categories and is confirmed to have the graphics card issues, Apple will replace the AMD card free of charge up to three years from the computer’s purchase date

What shows on screen at startup when using find my mac if owner locks it?

what shows on screen at startup when using find my mac if owner locks it?

A gray screen where they will have to enter a six digit passcode to unlock the Mac. If the Mac were being used and the remote lock sent, the computer would re-boot to this screen.

White screen at startup and stays?? How can I get past this?

Safe Boot is perfoming a disk integrity check and repair process which may take a long time. Let it complete, though if the startup disk requires repair to begin with, it is likely already in a failed state.
If the Mac eventually starts, take that opportunity to back up your important data if you have not already done so. It may be your last.

My App Store is showing white screen on features and charts display

My App Store is showing white screen on features and charts display. Any ideas what I should do?

Saw this on another post.
Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

Green screen, downlading files and updating programs often stuck at 99%.

Okey so I have got this problem for a 20 days, since I build my own computer. Some videos on youtube and other video stream sites bug out in the way that the video just goes green, and starts fast forwarding. Then I think streams on twitch.tv for example, I cant watch a stream for longer than 20 second and the video gets frozen and the stream needs to be refreshed. And updating games, downloading files often gets stuck at very end of the progress, and it wont succesfully download or update. Im not sure is it about Flash Player/Shockwave Player but if there doesnt come example green screen it may show something like you are missing add-on Flashplayer but when i refresh the page it may run the video fine for some time.
The problem rarely happens at youtube but heres one where it happened Crs Piglet (Vayne) first ever NA Penta - YouTube
Heres video where the video didnt start at all and aswell when it did the screen gone green again and fast forward. (contains adds) http://www.thevideo.me/kmqcwhblzheh
Heres screenshots and one bad quality phone photo album of these problems, green screens, videos stuck, downloading stuck and updating stuck 99-100%. Imgur
Heres my computer specs:
My operating system is:          Microsoft Windows: 8.1 Pro, 64-bit
Processor:                             Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-4690K CPU @ 3.50GHz
Graphic card:                         Nvidia GeForce GTX 760     Driver updated to: Geforce Game Ready Driver 347.52.
Memory (ram):                       8GB
Motherboard:                         MAXIMUS VII RANGER
Dont know what else info I could put on about my computer really... I have tried to find answer, like disabling hardware acceleration, deleting flashplayer memory file, safe modes and all kind of tips I as able to find from internet.
And I use mozilla firefox (36.0), but the problems happens aswell in Internet Explorer. I have updated Flash Player (16,0,0,305), my drivers (Geforce Game Ready Driver 347.52), all windows updates, java(1.8.0?), but still cant find the answer why watching videos/streams work well.
Im sorry if I missed some info but ask if theres something.

The green screen means that hardware decoding has failed. It's probably a subtle, intermittent driver bug.
You can disable hardware acceleration in Flash to avoid this while you wait for updated drivers to become available:

ISight green light is on, Photobooth shows green screen

Yeah, I started up my computer today and for some reason the camera light is on but I'm not even using it. I tried opening Photobooth so that I could quit it, and maybe the camera would go off, but Photobooth just shows a blank, green screen.
Anyone got any solutions?

Hey,
I had this issue awhile back too, I had no idea what caused it. I'm not sure if this is a real fix but I ran AHT(Apple Hardware Test) and it didn't find any issues, but after the test completed I booted up into OS X and everything was fine.

Extended white screen on startup and shutdown?

When I startup, I receive the gray screen with the apple logo and spinning wheel, then the screen turns white and sits for 30-45 seconds before showing me my desktop. When I shutdown, it pretty much does the same thing. What could be wrong? My system still works, but I am concerned about the delays. The issue existed before I upgraded to Lion and still exists.

No solution, I'm afraid, but just to say I seem to have the same problem.
Since installation of Mountain Lion, my iMac no longer starts up properly. It tends (not always, strangely, but about 75% of the time) to stop after a few seconds and leave me with a black screen filled with white text. I believe this is verbose mode or some such. I googled, which led me here and elsewhere, and I phoned AppleCare. Answers were little beyond a PRAM reset. Nothing worked.
My iMac had to go off to repair for a separate incident anyway, so I asked them to look into this too. (The separate incident was truly separate. A faulty optical drive. It turned out Apple had neglected to connect it after dealing with another, serious hardware fault before I'd installed Mountain Lion.) Apple told me that, with regard to the startup problem, there was nothing they could do, loads of people had the same problem and fingers crossed a software update would come along at some point to fix it.
My iMac has to go back again anyway, so I might as well ask them to look into the Mountain Lion issue again, just in the hope they again register the problem and that that might help a fix actually turn up one day. (Apple evidently damaged my iMac taking it apart to deal with the optical drive. It now has white glowing spots and a one-inch streak emanating from behind the screen.) Mountain Lion just seems in line with the evermore nightmarish Apple "experience". I shouldn't have bothered, of course.
(My iMac is 2.5 years old, and I skipped Lion and upgraded from Snow Leopard.)

Green Screen with masking, and widescreen.

Hi,
I am having a small problem. I am working with green screen and I masked out the things that the green screen wasn't covering. After I was finished I activated the green screen function, and now, the things I masked out are there again. The numbers that showed the masking outline are still there, but it isn't blacked out like I wanted it to be. And also, I know how to make a single clip widescreen, but how can you make a whole project widescreen?
Thanks,
Leroy

Hi Leroy,
1. In the filters pane of the viewer, drag your Matte that you used to cut out the things you didn't want below your Keying effect, so that it is rendered afterward.
2. Click on the sequence, and go to +Sequence > Settings.+ Select the preset that matches your media. Alternatively, you can change the Easy Setup to match your media and then create a new sequence.
Hope that helped,
Sasha

That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region.
If it's a European model, you could check the Toshiba Europe forums.
