acer problem

pnave01 · 12-11-2008, 11:29 PM

Here are the specs:

ACER Aspire 9410-4541

Intel Core duo processor T2450 (2.0 GHz, 533 MHz FSB, 2 MB L2 Cache)
17" WXGA+ Acer Crystalbrite LCD
400 MB NVIDIA GeForce Go 7300 Turbocache
160 GB HDD
DVD-super multi DL
2BG DDR2
802.11 a/b/g WLAN

The problem: Was watching a movie and the screen went completely white, now i could still hear the movie playing as if nothing was wrong but all i saw was white. Turned of the computer, when i turned it back on after a bit it went to the white screen. Turned it off then on again went to safe mode and it loaded fine, gave me the message that windows had not shutdown properly. Turned it off properly started it up normally and it ran fine. Now this happened once last week.

Now i will be checking the ram tomorrow to rule that out (hope its not the video card or motherboard), but wanted to post this to see if anyone has encountered a similar problem and has a solution. Any help would be appreciated.

I apologize in advance if this is posted in the wrong area
