    White screen when trying to boot
    « on: January 11, 2014, 05:40:56 AM »
    Hello,

    I have some trouble with my HP Pavilion dv6700. When I try to turn it on, the screen goes all white. I think it is a virus, because I've tried connecting it to another screen, but it's still the same thing. I managed to reboot Windows Vista via the DOS once, but when I'd been using it for about an hour, the screen went all fluffy with red and orange colors, and after a while it just went white.

    Is there any way for me to completely erase the harddisk and then maybe install Linux on it (I don't have a windows CD) ?

    Thank you in advance

    Allan

    Why do you think it's a virus?

    It sounds more like a graphics card.
