Laptop screen turns white while playing games

Daryl02

Ok so I was playing a computer game with my Acer Aspire 5742 laptop, then after about a half hour the screen flickers then the screen turns white. I tried to press Alt + Tab so it will go to the Desktop but the white screen didn't go away after that. But after a few seconds the screen goes back to normal. So I returned to playing the game again. But after just a few minutes, the screen started to flicker and the screen turned white again. So I press Alt + Tab again and pressed the Windows key. The white screen didn't go away and when I pressed the Windows key 2 times, I noticed the color changes between the 2. When I returned to the Desktop, it's white, while when I pressed the Window key, the screen turns white with a slight purple color because the background of the Windows 8.1 menu is purple. So I put the laptop to sleep then when I turned it on, the screen goes back to normal. I don't know what triggers this white screen problem. When I don't play the game, the screen normally works for now and I do hope to find a solution to this problem asap.

Hello! Have you checked with hwmonitor if the video card and processor are overheating? Have you tried updating the drivers on the intel website? What is the exact model of the notebook? Example v3-571-6682!
