Hello,

I have been having issues with my laptop recently. It is a Dell Studio 15 (1555). I have a video of the the problem because I can't really describe the precise nature of it. It is however incredibly annoying and the laptop needs to be restarted after it happens.

That is a link to a youtube video of the problem. I apologise for the terrible quality, it was filmed on my phone very quickly.

If anyone can help, that would be great!

Thanks,
Adam

Have you tried displaying externally and seeing if it does it externally? If it does not do that externally then you have a bad LCD/ribbon cable/ or possibly bad motherboard connector.

If yes, then you have a bad GPU/motherboard/stick of RAM.

There is no way of knowing when it could happen next. It happened twice last week but not for weeks before that. Thanks for the advice though I think I'm going to ring Dell.
