    Compaq x1000 display problems

    Hello there, I have a Compaq x1000 laptop which is installed with Windows XP operating system. The laptop was running fine until yesterday when the laptop screen started flickering. The laptop also gives the error saying "Ati drivers have stopped working" after which the computer gives blue screen and gets stuck up. Therefore if anybody is facing Compaq x1000 display problems then please share some information. Is this because of some virus? Or is this a hardware issue?

    It can be because of some virus. Virus's get downloaded on the computer while visiting certain websites or while downloading some data from the internet. Virus's have tendency to link with the system files of the operating system. If such a situation occurs, then the operating system will not work properly. Hence scan the system with an updated antivirus and check if there are any infected files. Repair or quarantine the files which are infected. After repairing the files check if the computer works properly or not.

    Devices which are connected to the computer require set of drivers to be installed on the computer in order to work properly. If the drivers are not installed then the device will not work properly. Hence check if the display drivers are installed and working properly on the computer. To check if the drivers are installed and working properly, Open the device manager and highlight the display adapter. If there are any caution signs then follow the troubleshooting and see if it helps. If troubleshooting does not help then try updating the drivers and check if it helps.

    Follow the steps below to discharge the residual charge from the computer. All the laptops face the problem with residual charge which gets stored in it. Residual charge gets stored near the RAM chips. Because of this the system is not able to access the RAM chips. If the system is not able to access RAM then it will give rise to such problems. To clear the residual charge from the laptop, shut down the laptop and remove the battery of the laptop. Keep the power button pressed for 30 seconds. Release the button after 30 seconds and then replace the battery of the laptop. See if the problem is solved or not.

    All the functions performed by the computer are controlled by the motherboard. If the motherboard of the computer is faulty, then it is bound to give such problems. The main power supply is also present on the motherboard. If the motherboard is faulty then it wont be able to provide correct voltages to all the devices which are connected to it and that could be the reason behind the screen fluctuating. Get the motherboard checked and if there are any faults then get it replaced. Once the motherboard is replaced you will not face the same problem again.

    By looking at the problem, I suspect that it is some overheating issue due to which the GPU of the computer is shutting itself down. Whenever the temperature of any device in the computer rises above the threshold temperature then it shuts itself down. Therefore check if the cooling fan of the laptop is working properly or not. If the fan is covered with dust, then try cleaning the fan and see if the computer works properly. You can implement some extra cooling pads which help in maintaining the temperature of the laptop.
