HI,
YESTERDAY i was PLAYING a game on my laptop with the power plugged in...while i was playing the display went black and when it came back there were PURPLE bands vertically on the screen and it became tinted green....the intensity of the purple bands( refer pic) decreases after a while to normal but the screen always remain tinted greenish...could you SUGGEST what could be the cause of it?

model is ASUS n550jk

[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]Did you recently update drivers ? ?

If so from where ?Well i have recently updated the Nvdia drivers to the latest version...graphics card is Nvdia gtx 850...Then that's likely your issue...

With laptops you should only use Drivers from the laptop manuf. site...But the purple bands appearing while the laptop is booting...and then it just fades away after a while...should i try uninstalling the drivers?Yes.
Then install the proper ones from manuf. site...hello
i tried reinstalling the drivers from the site but the problem still remains :/  i just noticed that when the screen has a white background then it turns back to the normal state for a second but after a second it flickers with pink shades eventually going green and the same thing repeats when the screen is white...can see that the previous screen remains burned when the pink one flickers....

[attachment deleted by admin to conserve space]You sure it's the correct driver ? ?...
If so your vid chip may be failing...how old is this laptop ? ?Try the machine on an external monitor/TV and see if you get the same issue on that.yeah i made sure that the driver is correct...the laptop is nearly 1.5 year old :/ it was plugged in when it happened..is it because of some circuit? i am scared whether i would have to replace the display as it would COST a lot
When i used it on Tv everything is working fine..i dont have the same issuesThat seals it then...it's the display.So i would have to replace the display?
