Einteiler Posted February 15, 2013 Share Posted February 15, 2013 About a month ago, I received my Y580. I have the version with windows 8 and the 1TB hard drive with no ssd. Upon receiving it, I added an mSata ssd and did a clean install of windows 7. I also replaced the 1TB hard drive with another ssd, and I now use the former hard drive as an external drive. After doing this, and installing all drivers, everything is working fine. The only programs I have installed are vlc, 7zip, eclipse sdk, and itunes. Maybe a couple others. This was all a month ago when I got the laptop. Again, so far, no problems. But as of yesterday, whenever I boot up my laptop, on the lenovo screen and immediately after, I get these weird white lines all over the screen. It looks like watching a tv with poor reception/lots of static. It only happens before windows starts, and as soon as the login screen shows up, the problem goes away. I dont understand what is causing this, as it is not windows. Just to be sure, I did a system restore, as the problem coincides with an update. No luck there, but as I said, it only happens before windows starts. I have not touched the BIOS, or really done anything other than install the programs I mentioned. I talked with a professor in my school's computer science department. He said the problem could be a faulty CMOS. Could that be the case? If so, how would I fix that? Any help at all would be appreciated. I really like this laptop, but I don't know what to do about this problem.Sorry for the length. I just wanted to be clear about what I have done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sherba666 Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 To get started, try to return the old hard drive, and try to start windows from it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
