Solution Hamperking68 Feb 20, 2017 It sounds hardware related however we would want to be sure. Try downloading Ubuntu onto a USB drive and booting off it in the Demo mode. If the issue persists it's an issue with the Hardware. Please post back the results.

A quick google should find it. Upvote 0 Downvote
