Hi,

i´m having a problem with my laptop, when i first boot my laptop it seems to work ok, windows 10 boots correctly and everything seems fine but after 2-3 minutes after boot it starts to freeze and the colors on the screen start to randomly change, some lines appear and i can´t do anything, i didnt take a picture of the screen and right now i don't have the laptop with me, the screen seems very similar to this:

Also when i try to go into BIOS some white lines show after some minutes and it freezes.
Do anyone knows what could it be?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Your max temp for the GTX260M is 105°C, I wouldn't start worrying about temps until about 85°C and quite a few people run their card into the high 90's. Check your display's cable connections, make sure they're all the way inserted. If they're okay (that's my primary suspect at the moment) I'd check the graphics card by connecting to an external monitor and seeing if there's a change in output.

I'd be inclined to believe that is heat related. You can monitor your temps with a program such as HWMonitor but I would really recommend a very complete physical cleaning of the laptop. Although some disassembly would be required, YouTube abounds with how-to's for laptop cleaning (models vary so look up your particular model). If, after viewing a video or two, you decide it is too intimidating for you to try personally (it really isn't that hard IMO), I'd say to take it to a local PC shop for cleaning

i recently cleaned my laptop, the gfx card was hot after the screen started to behave as i said (i touched it) but i haven't checked it before so i don't know if its normal or not o.o, i have a gtx260m and checked the temp on bios, the processor was arround 45-48 °C when booting but the gfx at the beginning was at 43, then after every 10 seconds it started to +1 until it got to 53°C i turned off the laptop after that... was it normal? i cant use hwmonitor because the laptop starts to freeze u.u
