i had already used the latest driver for my operating system but the problem was the same. that is why i am using the drivers which came with the laptop.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply. I seem to have looked over your reply.

Have you got another monitor at all? A good test to carry out with this sort of problem is to connect another external monitor to the laptop. Then if the screen goes white on the laptop and not the external monitor then we know its a problem with the screen.
However if the external monitor also goes white then there is a deeper graphics fault.

There are some other steps Here you could try. If you need more help with that then n your next reply if you can give me the make and model of your laptop then I will help you some more.
