    i have a problem with the display, it can shutdown completely or just the back light stays on and sometimes the the whole screen changes to green or orange.
    the computer stays on but dosnt respond.
    i cant seem to get a pattern when it happens, never while gaming.
    can it be the driver or the hardware itself?
