snowy screen display then no picture on Hp laptop

by plymouth vacation / November 7, 2010 8:17 PM PST

HI,
I have a HPpavillion Dv221ous Entertainment notebook with vista home premium.
I was using it in the living room with battery and plugged in.
It was working fine. I unplugged it from the wall and carried it into the bedroom while it was still on, placed it on the table and walked into the other room. when I came back the display was white with designs/snowy picture. (no desktop)
I turned the power button off hoping it would start up normal again.It did not. The power light comes on when you plug it in, the sound of the motor is heard. just no picture. Black/blank screen.
I would guess sleep mode but there would not be that white fuzzy screen appearance.(which i no longer get)

Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer won't shut down properly. I use the menu button shutdown and the screen goes blank, but the system does not fully shut down. The only way to get it to shut down is to hold the physical power button down till it shuts down. Any suggestions?
