    Avery time I have a large black window open or when I'm playing games I see some black and white particles moving on the screen (see the attach pics), I tried reinstalling the drivers and installing new and old one as well but nothing seen to fix the problem. Can anyone help please?

    You may want to try reseating the LCD pannel cables both on the pannel itself and to the MB. I think most though found the issue was the connection to the main board............

    Don't want to scare you but those pics, especially the first one, appear very similar to artifacts which can indicate a GPU problem. Hopefully it's just a cable issue though. It may also be a monitor problem. Have you tried an external monitor?

    Now that mention it, it doesn't happen on my external monitor, so I guess it is a GPU problem right?

    If everything's fine when you use an external monitor then GPU is working. Check the LCD cables like Tanware said. That should be the issue most pbly.
