    Acer aspire s3-391 ultra book with windows 10 startup problems

    On restarting all that appears on the screen is one white horizontal line in the middle. It is about half cm wide and goes all the way across. After forcing the computer to reboot by holding down the start button a few times it usually works. But it is frustrating. Is there a solution for this?
