    Hi,
    I did a search but nothing came up which is similar to what mine is doing so I'm posting here;

    Ever since I got the laptop a few months ago its been pretty good, although about twice the screen goes completly white, and I have to turn it off by holding down the power button. Then a while after that first happened, my OS wouldn't load, so I put XP on the other partition it comes with, so far no problems.

    Last night I decided to put on a radio show I downloaded, and it was going fine, then the sound started to clip, and the screen went white. I held down the power button to restart it (being the only thing I could do) and now it doesn't respond to my keyboard, eg, I can't press f2 at the start to go into options, I can't press enter to choose which OS I want to boot, and I can't skip out of doing the check disk (which freezes at 50)

    I'm just wondering if there is anything I could do to fix it. I've tried putting in a usb keyboard but that didn't work either.

    Many thanks.
