My 3000 c200 8922 laptop's screen goes black with white showing through at boot-up. [ Edited ]

When ever my computer starts up, all that shows is a black screen and some a faint white color.  It was kind of acting up a last week or so.  When I was using it, the screen went white in stripes for a few seconds.  I think I might caused it some major harm while surfing the net.  Any ideas?  I have no knowledge as this computer is kind of old.

could be possible graphic card or ram issue.
can you check if the issue persists on external display?
also, try to remove/re-seat or swap the ram sticks.

Thanks, I will try these and see if any of them work.
