wargod1341 Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 It might be somthing to do with the screen somthing inside the screen is out of place, Or it might be a virus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aydan Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 A virus that makes red dots on your screen?Could be hardware failure or a corrupt display driver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kusy Posted January 8, 2011 Share Posted January 8, 2011 Do they show all the time (when the comp is starting up) or only when windows starts up? Sounds like a bad case of hot pixel but never heard of them being red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
