    Hi every body,
    Recently,there are repeated transient times that suddenly in my screen, all objects -espesially words in a white background- are shown with a blue shadow alongside them for some seconds up to minutes and then these disturbing shadows disappear.This happens usually when laptop is on battery,but sometimes on AC aswell.The problem is emerged after about one month of my purchase.
    Any idea?

    There are two other considerations aswell.When this happens,the screen has a flickering manner I used to experience when my old CRT monitors did not have proper refresh rates.My laptop lcd has a fixed 60HZ rate which is not changable.The other thing is that when I have this problem and take a screen capture, after those shadows disappear,there is no trace of them in captured screen pictures too.

    The other issue is that when these blue shadows appear and screen has some minute shakes,if I restart ,I'll have the same problem even with Asus logo and while entering Bios.

    The flicker usually cause by defective inverter board on LCD, it's known not cause by video card or LCD itself, if screen capture can not duplicate the problem then your video card should be fine, can you use your digital camera and take a clear picture and post it here?

    Similar issue was reported on z70va. As i recall the issue dissapeared either after a bios release or a driver update. I really can not recall exactly but it was not hardware related

    Thank you all for your kind replies.I've updated the bios and re-installed video driver supplied by the manufacturer.None have worked yet. The other thing is that sometimes the problem resolves when I move the notebook a bit . :confused:

    I want to download the latest driver.My GPU is Geforce Go 7300(512Mb Turbocache,128Mb dedicated).What driver should I download?

    Unfortunately the captures taken by its own webcam in the mirror,don't have satisfactory qualities and I don't have any other camera either,but I'll try to do my best.
