[Bug 1502520] Re: My screen became blurry after I installed Virtualbox ( not sure it this problem is related or not )

 

MWJ, as per http://support.hp.com/us-en/drivers/selfservice/HP-Pavilion-
dv4-1400-Entertainment-Notebook-PC-series/3945145/model/3979339 an
update to your computer's buggy and outdated BIOS is available (F.66).
If you update to this following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BIOSUpdate does it change anything?

If it doesn't, could you please both specify what happened, and provide the output of the following terminal command:
sudo dmidecode -s bios-version && sudo dmidecode -s bios-release-date

For more on BIOS updates and linux, please see
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs#Bug_reporting_etiquette
.

Please note your current BIOS is already in the Bug Description, so
posting this on the old BIOS would not be helpful. As well, you don't
have to create a new bug report.

Once the BIOS is updated, if the problem is still reproducible, and the
information above is provided, then please mark this report Status
Confirmed. Otherwise, please mark this as Invalid.

Thank you for your understanding.

  then after it restarted the resolution went down a lot.
