Pavilion-15 ac179tx
Linux

I have bought this pavilion laptop a few days back with free DOS. I installed ubuntu 14.04. When I play video, it shows the actual video in a small space in the middle and rest of the screen is blue. It is not player issue. The actual video that is shown is kind of overlay I guess because while playing video, if I open other window, the video part  is shown on that screen also and everything goes behind it.  

 

And also if I take the screen shot while the video is playing the screen shot does not contain the video frame that is playing. The entire screen in the screen shot is blue screen

 

Any help is appreciated.
