Answer 3

We can't tell if it hardware or software from here.

You can use the power button to restart your computer three times. This will start the Windows Recovery Environment.

Answer 4

Thanks, i just tried to start my computer and it's just a white screen. Probably going to restart it again. Which do you think it is, hardware or software? Thanks

Answer 5

It would appear to be corrupted graphics drivers, or failing graphics hardware.

But it could also be anywhere along this path:

Monitor > Cable > Port on Computer > which is either connected to a Graphics Card in a slot on the Motherboard or to Onboard Graphics Hardware which is part of the Motherboard.
