    My sister was using my computer, and she accidentally hit a key no clue which one, somewhere in the end/home/pgup/pgdn region. I have tried Resizing the screen resolution, reinstalling the graphics drivers, and restarting.

  2. A 1/2" square spot of "snow" on monitor screen?

    Hi,


    • Are you saying that you have tried all the steps and the issue still persist?

    • What is the model number of your Dell Inspiron laptop?

    Could you send a screen shot of the issue? To take a screen shot using Snipping tool, follow the below steps;


    • To open Snipping Tool, type Snipping Tool in the search box on the taskbar, then select
      Snipping Tool.

    • To take a screenshot with Snipping Tool, select
      New,
      then select the part of the screen that you want to capture. Choose from free-form, rectangular, window or full-screen snips by selecting the arrow on the
      New button.


    I suggest you to refer to the answer provided bysker-hughes in the below link and check if the issue can be resolved.

    How to monitor cores / mem speeds and temps during testing (I've seen screen overlays, and others using GPUz)
