My display is white with waving vertical lines at boot up last thing I did was to open dota 2 tried an external monitor and it only gives me black screen I'm suspecting a faulty videocard as my laptop is stationary and barely moved. But i remember I have igpu i5-3210m and gpu ATI 7670m laptop model: Toshiba Satellite l850 B757. Why does the igpu doesn't work or my suspected component is wrong?

Sounds to me like your screen could be going bad, or there is a loose cable in there somewhere.
1| See if you have any BIOS updates pending.
2| Uninstall your AMD drivers and reinstall them using the latest for your platform after downloading them from AMD's support site.
3| What OS are you on?
