If the RAM turn out fine, then it could be overheating, but that is just an educated guess.

My dad actually got 2 HPs to work on, both ironicly with the same exact problem (LCD issues). I would try to see if it is under warranty...if not and the RAM checks out and it doesn't seem to be overheating...I would cut your losses. Even my (HP) Compaq V2000 had an LCD issue.

Personally I would not buy an HP laptop. Get a Lenovo thinkpad, Dell, or so I can sound impartial...a Mac."
