    Guys,my computer often appears black band, then they can not reboot, but after some time, then returned to normal. But not long after this problem emerged. What's the matter ? How to solve that??

    sounds like your gpu is dying

    usually it will not work, then after waiting a while and rebooting a couple of times, it will work again, .. this will happen a number of times until it eventually stops working completely

    if the reason that it's dying is because of overheating, then you could try changing the gpu's thermal paste, but it will probably die eventually anyway

    i recommend you backup your data and get a new laptop
