    Hi to all,

    I've an Asus F3F notebook bought two years and half ago.

    Since few weeks ago, when the desktop is coming up from its standby (black) I see some red areas in the screen that disappears suddently when desktop is fully displayed.

    What is that ?


    thanks!

    Have you tried changing your video drivers?

    Hi, the drivers are updated. I've a Intel GMA950.

    anyway, the red is only in the left corner and in the bottom of the screen. It seems to me related to lcd screen itself (lcd retroillumination?) intstead of video card. After woke up, all is fine.
