Hello All.

Its been a long time since I reached out for help. When opening the lid either from sleep of Hibernation sometimes has a bar one side of the screen or the other side. This bar sometimes is white or multicolored, about 2 inches in from either side. i am told there are no updates available for the Intel HD 5500, current version is 20.19.15.5058.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

@Stu2009, Welcome to HP Support Community,

 

Thank you for posting your query; I’m here to help by guiding you through steps to resolve this issue

 

Restart and Check

  • Restart the laptop instead of waking from sleep/hibernation.
  • If the issue does not appear after a restart, it’s likely related to sleep/hibernation.

Update or Reinstall Graphics Driver

  • Go to Device Manager (Win + X > Device Manager).
  • Expand Display adapters > Right-click Intel HD Graphics 5500 > Uninstall device (check "Delete the driver software for this device").
  • Restart your laptop > Download and install the latest Intel HD Graphics 5500 driver.

Run Hardware Diagnostics in Windows

  • Press Win + S and search for HP PC Hardware Diagnostics Windows.
  • Open it and go to Component Tests > Video/Display Test.
  • Follow the instructions to check for issues.

Run UEFI Hardware Diagnostics (Alternatively Before Boot)

  • Turn off your laptop.
  • Turn it on and immediately press Esc repeatedly.
  • In the menu, press F2 to open HP Diagnostics.
  • Select Component Tests > Display/Video Test.

Check in BIOS and Safe Mode

  • Restart and enter BIOS (F10 or Esc during startup).
    • If the issue appears in BIOS, it’s a hardware issue (screen or display cable).

Test External Monitor

  • Connect an external display via HDMI/DisplayPort.
    • If the issue is only on the laptop screen, the LCD panel or display cable may be faulty. If it appears on both, it’s likely a GPU or driver issue.

Check for BIOS Updates

  • Go to HP support page and check for BIOS updates > Install any available update and restart.

I hope these steps help resolve the issue
