Problem for HP Pavilion a1130n (PX769AA) PC Desktop

Screen going white computer stopping

Out of no where my computer just stops (power stays on) and the monitor goes white..sometimes with blue/black/red VERTICAL lines on it. If I am watching a video that stops as well.

I don't know if this is a virus or what. It's not the monitor because it happens to all monitors attached to computer.

It is happening 1-4 times per day and is killing me and ruining my work due losing it as the computer stops. I have to hard reboot every time

I have Windows XP, HP Pavillion a1130n desktop with AMD 64 Athalon..

- fixed it myself....HP has a patch to change the bios.....check out HP servce/support for solutions.

- Thanks...I neglected to check HP's website and sure enough this was happening to other users with this computer model #. Their fix was to download a new BIOS. I did that and we'll see if it happens....other users claim it fixed this issue for them.

Same Problem

-   I have the identical white screen problem where the computer just dies, leaving the screen all white. I see that patch on HP, but my problem is my ignorance because the patch info tells me to check my bios version. However, when I go to the main screen of bios, it doesn't show any bios version number that I can see. It does appear that the bios is Phoenix technologies, but the patch that HP is giving is for MS7093/MS-7184 and I don't know if that is one and the same??? -   qt495
