Turquoise and Red Pixel streaks while browsing

I'm hoping someone can help me with this (thanks X 1000 if you can!)
I've had my Macbook for a little over a year NEVER dropped, always handled with the utmost care.
Recently noticed blotches of red pixel on my desk top (with a dark screen saver) when I browse the internet with a mostly white page I see blotches of turquoise pixels. (THE RED AND TURQUOISE BLOTCHES STREAK WHEN I SCROLL, OR CLICK THE WINDOW AND DRAG IT AROUND THE SCREEN)
I've THOROUGHLY tried to research this on my own - THIS IS NOT A DEAD PIXEL ISSUE -DEAD PIXELS DONT MOVE!!!
It almost seems like a refresh issue, because if I scroll down further, or (click-drag) highlight the effected area it goes away until I scroll again.
* I ran a hardware check (reboot, and hold down D') and it came back clean...
I'm at wits end and when this laptop was purchased it was close to 3 grand! I dont want to shell out another cent until I know (or at least have a pretty good idea what the issue is)
MAC GODS PLEASE HELP!!!

NO ONE has any real suggestions to what this could be?? I thought mac users helped each other....
Unfortunately, we aren't magicians. We can only make suggestions based on our personal experience.
For the record, I said: It sounds like your video card is having problems with the RED channel.

  • Screen froze while starting up and red pixels appear

    I was watching a YouTube video when my screen froze and started glitching. After a few minutes i shuted it down completely. Now it will not finish starting up and a white screen appears with red pixels on it. What is this and what should i do?

    Welcome Victoria!
    iMacs has been in continuous production since 1998 in four broad families based on different hardware configurations. Therefore need more info to effectively help you. Although more details may be needed later, a good place to start is for you to tell us your processor type and you Mac OS version, both easily available by doing "About this Mac..." from your Apple menu at the left end of your menu bar.
    Of the two iMac forums, this is for the old one made before 2006. If you have a newer model we can ask the Hosts to move you to the more active forum.

  • Polygons and red dots on screen

    Sometimes, when I scroll down on web pages, green and red polygons take most of the screen.Oftentimes, red dots appear on the screen when I am playing a videogame (mostly in dark scenes).What is the problem and how is it solved? My guess is that it is a malfunctioning GPU that needs to be replaced, but I would rather not speculate and hear from a specialist. Model: ENVY Phoenix 810-330qeCPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4770K CPU @ 3.50GHzGPU: AMD Radeon R9 270RAM: 8GB DDR3 1.6GHz

    Hello , Welcome to the HP 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 have read your post on how green and red pixels take up most of the screen when you scroll down web pages, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter! To correct this issue, I recommend re-installing all of the original software and hardware drivers that first came with your computer. This can be done by following the steps in this document on Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 8). To update these drivers, please follow this resource on Using HP Support Assistant (Windows 8). If the red dots still appear on your display screen, I also recommend following this document on Display Quality Issues, which should help prevent the occurrence of dots and pixels when playing games and surfing the Internet.  Please re-post with the results of your troubleshooting, and I look forward to your reply!

  • Webcam light on Qosmio F60 blinks between blue and red

    Hi guys, I have a Qosmio F60. The problem I think I am facing right now is that the webcam light blinks between blue and red for a while and goes back to blue. And it gets kind of hot behind the webcam on the cover of the laptop.
    Is it supposed to get hot when I make video calls?
    And what could be causing the blinking of the led light for the webcam.

    Hi
    Dont know exactly what the blinking led could mean but Ive got one question;
    Does the webcam work properly? Can you use this as supposed?
    If yes, then I would not be worried
    By the way the cam should not get warm I think the FL inverter which is placed behind the screen is warm but this is ok.

  • While browsing Firefox, display another htm*file by double-clicking it in Windows Explorer and not getting the erro message "Firefox is already running (etc) "

    While browsing the Web with Firefox, I often want to view an htm (or html etc) file that is recorded on my computer, by double-clicking it in my Windows Explorer, hoping it will open automatically a new tab.
    When I try this now, I get the error message "Firefox is already running (etc)" .
    In my current setup, Firefox is associated with the htm and html file name extensions.
    If, instead of double-clicking the filename in the Explorer, I choose the Firefox menu item "Open a file", this works OK.
    In old versions of Firefox, double-clicking a filename in the Windows Explorer or File Manager caused Firefox to open a new window every time which was ok.
    I have the same problem with Thunderbird, which I have associated with the "eml" file name extension. How can I view a series of recorded ".eml" files with Thunderbird when Thunderbird is already running ? Thank you.

    The target field of the desktop shortcut is "D:\C_Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe" (no switch)
    The system/environment variable MOZ_nO_REMOTE is now 0, changed from 1, but I can see no difference. Maybe I need to restart the system to get a change ?
    Thank you.

  • While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen.

    While browsing the internet with my iPhone 4S the screen goes black and it looks like it's turning off, but it pops up to the unlock keypad screen. It has plenty battery and I was wondering if it is an issue of using too much of the iPhones RAM or not. I have no other apps open besides Messages. I am getting kind of worried as it started around two weeks ago and it has gotten increasingly frequent.

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.

  • I updated my iMac to 10.7.3 and about an hour later the screen began to flicker with a gray line on the upper side, and it also flicker green and red small pixel lines all over the screen, mainly green.

    I updated my iMac to 10.7.3 and about an hour later the screen began to flicker with a gray line on the upper side, and it also flicker green and red small pixel lines all over the screen, mainly green. The computer froze with these pixels, so I shut it off and restarted it, and there were this green lines everywere. So I turned it off, and the next day I turned it on and it began to work just fine, but suddenly the same thing happened again, and when I restart the computer again there are these green and some red pixels everywere.
    I've read 10.7.3 is giving people many problems, but I never saw that it gave one like this. How can I fix this, or what will Apple do to fix this problem they caused me with their update.
    Thanks

    Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

    While browsing eBay, when I watch or bid on an item, and later view it again, many inches of white space appears before item appears. If I delete the clear recent history box, the pages will come up as they should for several times, then go back to a lot of extra white space. How can I prevent this? Thank you, Rick in English
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == About a month ago

    As stated in 1.:
    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
    Obviously, it will not harm your computer provided you follow the instructions. However, if you don't post your results in the thread where you were given those instructions, then the person helping you cannot help you further. As he asks at the end, "please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created."

  • Over the past several weeks while browsing Firefox i got a re-direct to a window similar to a Google search not a re-direct to a particular site. I would just arrow back and keep going until it would repeat.

    I don't know what version of Firefox I was using. I think it was 4.0 I have just downloaded the newest version 4.0.1 and will see if this continues or has been fixed. It has never done this while browsing with I. Explorer so I assume it to be a browser issue. One of the blogs I read said it was a Firefox issue.
    The re-direct would occur usually right after I landed at a new web site or it might occur after I started browsing the site. I don't think it is a virus issue. I use Vipre home edition. The page looked just like a search listing window just like you would get in Google after searching for a subject. I would just arrow back to the site I was at and start again. Sometimes I would have to repeat this several times until it went to the correct site. Any ideas?

    Just look around the forum posts.  Your issue is the number one problem reported by users.  There are many suggestions found, some work for some users, others do not.
    Some users have reported no battery problems after the upgrade.  Others have improved performance after upgrading to 5.0.1 from 5.0.  YMMV.
    Many of the posts offer suggestions about changing various settings - there are many that affect the battery life.
    Once you upgrade the iOS on a device, you cannot go back to a previous version.

  • HT4061 I did install the OS7 on my Ipad yesterday, and right now, while browsing internet with safari, the screen turned black, and no way to return to normal

    I am lost: I did install iOS7 a couple of days ago, and right now, while browsing internet with Safari, the screen turned black suddenly, and I can't reactivate it anyway (buttons death, screen death)

    Thank you very much!
    During the minutes needed  looking for help, I decided to put the magnetic cover on the screen again, and I connected the iPad to the charger. Whe I did uncover the iPad now for a try with your tip (hold sleep and home buttons for about 10 seconds), it came to life again.
    Thank you.

    Hi Samba,
    What're the versions of your Office Excel and SQL Server Analysis Services? It will be helpful if you can share the detail computer resource information to us while encountered this issue.
    In addition, we don't know your cube structure and the underlying relationships. But you can take a look at the following articles to troubleshoot the performance issue:

  • Line of red pixels

    I got a MacBook Pro 15" less than a month ago and today a streak of red pixels appeared in the middle of the screen. Anyone else has had this problem on the new Mac? I have an appointment for next Monday at the Genius Bar, I would like to have some feedback, perhaps is a defectous line of screens?
    Cheers
    PS

    I sent it in for repair once already. I don't remember what they did; something with software. Nothing huge, because when I got it back my invisibleSHIELD case was still completely intact. I guess I should just send it in again? Think they'll just give me a new one?

  • Installing 11i apps on windows xp and Red Hat linux AS 3.0

    Hi,
    I am a newbie to Oracle E-business suite............i will be very helpful if anybody could help me with the full procedure on how to install Oracle apps on windows on Windows XP and Red Hat linux AS 3.0.........starting with configuring ip.....i would really appreciate if somebody helps me out...........well thanks in advance..waiting for a optmistic reply...
    Thanks again,
    Virendra

    I have done installation on XP and 2000 servers are heres the steps... detailed ones. I also request those who install Oracle Apps 11i to first read the installtion pdf's which helps you understand clearly the prerequisites overall.
    You cannot find the Pre installtion steps(such as Mks Toolkit and GNUMake config) in more clear terms from those documents.Which are explained here.
    The Must PDF's to refer before installation
    1)r1152ins.pdf
    2)11iconcepts.pdf
    According to the 11iconcepts PDF you can decide your business needs the N-Tier Architecture and Database Server and Application Tier Server File System in a very clear terms.
    The installation process can be divided into
    Pre Installtion,Installation and Post-Installation stages.
    I would caution everyone to concentrate more on Pre Installation stage and which is more critical for a successfull installtion of Oracle Apps and to be free with later cropping up problems.
    Further before moving into Installtion stages i have to Explain the Number of CD's and Installtion type's in Oracle App's.
    In many places you may need to wait patiently even more than 10 minutes for screens(Dialog Boxes) to appear dont conclude prematurely some problem on system.
    In oracle Apps 11.5.1 it consist of 12 CD's.
    1) Start Here CD(RAPID Installation Wizard)
    2)1-11 CD's
    1-3 Application Top information
    4th Oracle DB
    5-6 IAS and other tools
    7-11 Oracle Apps DB.
    You have to decide whether you are going to do a Single Node Installation(No Post-Installation Task) or Multi Node Installation. Refer(r1152ins.pdf)
    While installing for Multi Node you can see the Installation locations to be mentioned as
    Appl_Top,Common_Top,Data_Top etc.Try to install Appl_top and common_Top in one drive and Data_Top in another Drive(Single Node) and in different nodes in Multi Node installation.
    Installation Types
    Production ==>Real time Env implementation's
    Test ==>For test Env Purposes
    Vision Demo==>R&D or learning Purposes.
    Pre-Installation steps
    ======================
    Space Requirement for types of installtions
    Install VC++
    How to Download and install MKS tool Kit
    How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE
    Env path setting
    Create Applmgr user in Win2000
    Space Requirement for types installtion:
    Memory Requirement
    1 GB of RAM(512 Fine for initial Installtion)
    but planned for more user connections another 1 GB of Ram and according to the number of user's and Application needs you have to Increase the Memory.
    HDD capacity
    APP_Top(A)
    COMMON_TOP(C)
    DATA_TOP(D)
    Test DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
    Prod DB : 22 + 20 GB (60 GB recommended)
    Vision Demo DB: 22 + 35 GB (80 GB recommended).
    Plus space for ur staging area.
    This are the actuall space required for the Oracle Apps Alone plan for more space for future needs etc.
    Softwares on System
    Win2000 server with Patch1,Winzip and Acrobat Reader Latest version etc.
    Install VC++:
    Install a clean installtion of VC++ of Visual Studio Family 6.0
    It should be first installed before installing MKS or GNUMAKE
    NOTE: When Visual C++ is installed, let the installer register all environment variables. This will allow executables to be linked from the command line.
    How to Download and install MKS tool Kit:
    Note:Try to purchase the MKS tool kit from the below site.
    or try to download the trial version valid for a months time.
    http://www.mkssoftware.com/products/tk/ds_tkio.asp
    Evaluation copy from
    http://www.mkssoftware.com/eval/
    Choose "MKS Toolkit for Interoperability " Download it in C:\
    Again you have to click the downloaded kit to start the actual download of 38 MB of MKS tollkit Evaluation version.
    You will be sent a Demo serial number to your mail id==>copy the same to a Notepad on your desktop.
    Now start the installtion of the MKSToolkit on your system by clicking on the MKStoolkit downloaded.
    It will prompt you for the Demo serial number which has to be provided.
    The MKStoolkit will be successfully installed.
    How to Download and Configure GNUMAKE:
    1) HOW TO GET AND INSTALL GNUMAKE ON WINDOWS2000
    This can be done by performing the following steps:
    NOTE: Please, be aware that you must install Visual C++ BEFORE installing GNUMAKE, because its installation process involves linking executables.
    1) Before downloading GNUMAKE, you will need to acquire some utilities which will be used for unpacking files. You can obtain the required utilities at the following
    URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/windows/emacs/utilities/i386/
    The directory contains the following files:
    README
    djtarnt.exe
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
    gzip-1.2.4-i386.exe
    tar-1.11.2-i386.exe
    tar-1.11.2a.exe
    Only two of the files are required:
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe and tar-1.11.2a.exe
    2) After downloading the above files, rename them as follows:
    gunzip-1.2.4-i386.exe => gunzip.exe
    tar-1.11.2a.exe => tar.exe
    Place them into a directory that you can set in you PATH environment variable.
    3) Point your browser to the following
    URL: ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/make
    The files needed from this directory are:
    make-3.77.tar.gz
    make-3.78.1.tar.gz
    make-3.79.1.tar.gz
    make-3.79.tar.gz
    Development requires to install version 3.77 or above. Downloading the latest version is perhaps best decision, but there are advantages to downloading the version required by development (3.77). (This document assumes that version 3.77 has been downloaded) (NOTE: AVOID USING SPACES IN
    DIRECTORY AND FILE NAMES. GNUMAKE,VISUAL C++, ETC. DO NOT ALWAYS DEAL WELL WITH SPACES)
    4) For instance, suppose you have downloaded file make-3.77.tar.gz on a directory called C:\GNUMAKE, unpack this file using gunzip.exe from a Command Prompt Window
    Example: C:\GNUMAKE>gunzip make-3.77.tar.gz This last action, will expand file make-3.77.tar.gz and the extension .gz will be removed.
    5) On the same Command Prompt Window, you should UnTAR the file, with the following
    command: C:\GNUMAKE>tar -xvf make-3.77.tar This will create a new subdirectory called MAKE-3.77 under C:\GNUMAKE, the original directory.
    6) In the new subdirectory, there is a batch file
    called build_w32.bat; run the batch file to generate GNUMAKE.EXE
    Try this from Command Prompt more than once if succesfully not built message appers till you get Generated successfully.
    Note:If Possible run all the bat files in the MAKE-3.77 and also config.bat in the sub directory by double clicking it.
    WARNING: There is a known issue with this last step, "GNU make fails to build regardless of chosing build_w32 or nmake"
    See [NOTE:115937.1]

    Installation:
    =============
    What here you require is the Patience .
    Load the START HERE CD and run the C:\> cd \cdrom\rapidwiz
    For Test and Prod it will ask for the location of Appl_Top,Common_Top and Data_Top location. Mention there path and ensure if more than one installtion say eg.Vision and Test or Prod to check the Path in all the tab pages its corresponding values and path's.
    In Vision Demo many of the Options are not propmted from the user.
    It will then do the system checking for Host Name and other details.All the checking should have been passed or if failed it will mark it in RED cross mark.Rectify the mistake and then onceagain proceed or else you will have problem after installation.
    The Installation time takes around 5 to 6 Hrs of time.
    For info on Post installation or on Multi Node follow the pdf's i have mentioned above.
    The most tedious of all is succesfully crossing the Apps system checking it does for all
    installed products it requires without any failure.
    The GNUMAKE configuration or steps were nowhere given and it was all our trail and error exp.
    This is possibly the most elaborate steps to install Apps on Win. post for further help. email me at [email protected] or [email protected]
