Solved Strange screen bahaviour when it fades into black.

[WinAndLinuxTutorials]

Hi,
I've noticed that the screen fades into black in a strange way. I don't know how to describe it exactly, but there are some white flashes that appear when it fades into black. I've included a video in the attachment. I am very sorry for the low resolution of the camera I used. I face this problem on both Windows and Linux.

Thanks.

That's overheating.

What notebook do you have? After it's repaired I suggest you buy a laptop cooler with big fan(one if possible otherwise two is also okey.)

@Valentin N: The CPU is 45-55 Degrees Celsius Most of the time, also HDD is 38 Degrees Celsius.

I think that the thermal paste has dried out or the dust has closed almost all the ventilation or the fan is broken or half damaged/functional. That means that you have to send it in to a local computer-store that repair such thing.

I have had that issue with a couple of toshiba laptops and each time it was the power connector on the motherboard. Do you sometimes have trouble charging the laptop or you have to tilt it @ a certain angle for it to charge? Usually with a video issue it will just go black, did you hook up an external monitor to see if you still get the screen flicker? With a heat issue the computer will get real slow and will just shutdown.

Not at all.

I will see when I get a wire to connect the laptop to the external monitor.

I've recently noticed that I face this problem at random, so what can cause the problem?
