Solve : green laptop display?

Answer»

my laptop display turns green during the screensaver, and the computer freezes up. Have to restart after that. Why does this keep happening??

Laptop: Toshiba Satellite pro L300
HDD: 500GB
Ram: 3GB DDr2
OS: Windows Xp Pro Sp3
Does this happen on any other occasion? DOWNLOAD speedfan and check your temps.I don't KNOW why it happens, but I can tell you that other than utilizing resources unnecessarily, screen savers are useless. You are better off setting the display and hd to POWER down after a defined period of inactivity. In addition to eliminating the problem you're having, you'll conserve resources and possibly even extend the lives of your hd and display.Quote

In addition to eliminating the problem you're having, you'll conserve resources and potentially extend the lives of your hd and display.

Still check your temps and make sure that there is not another problem occurring with the PC that is manifesting itself through the screensaver. Once you are sure there is no other problem with the PC, then disable the screensaver.Turned off screen saver, now monitoring. F.Y.I - it has happend previously on numerous OCCASIONS. According to your original post it happens only when the screen saver is running. Is that true or not?In your power management app, there is a PLACE to turn off display and shut down hard drive.
Turning off the display after, say, five minutes will conserve power, a screensaver that keeps the screen ON, does not conserve power and serves no useful purpose.
I shut screen savers OFF wherever I find them.

Good Luck!

If you let your screensaver running, it will end with a distorting screen.
My mother gave me a monitor along with her husband's old computer.
Screen distorts because of screensaver.

So, finally, everybody:
Disable your screen saver.Is this screensaver one of the ones that comes with Windows or something you downloaded from the Internet?
