Strange white box with yellow squiggles from sleep mode?
I have an i7-2670qm, with a 2.20Ghz CPU Sony Viao. It's very old as far as laptops are concerned, I know, but only recently have I started having a weird problem.
Sometimes when I open it from sleep mode, there will be a white box with yellow squiggles that appears in the top left corner of the screen. It's very fast, so I've never been able to get a picture of it, and I doubt you can prnt scrn when the a laptop is waking up from sleep mode, but it concerns me. It also sometimes rarely appears while booting up a game that goes into fullscreen mode. I've had this laptop for a long time, and it worries me. I definitely cannot afford a new one that is able to play games, so if this one's goose is cooked, I'm screwed.
A few things to note is that the box is only during the blackness of booting, so it's not on the desktop itself.
Am I doomed? This is eating away at my mind.... I'm utterly terrified to be perfectly honest.
