M90 Crazy Video Issue

Hello all, n00be here. Got a nice M90 on ebay that is running Vista 32 bit. It has been running well.. Not sure if it was a update but all of a sudden
firefox slowed up and the screen washed out. I rebooted several times and it went slow, upon the splash screen it displayed green lines. I rebooted by keyboard. I got on my wife's M6300's browser and saw a thing about swapping the memory. I swapped the 1 gig sticks and it booted right up. It did it again a day or two later and I did the memory swap and it booted and displayed some kind of video issue error..This is a head scratcher for me. Thanks for any help..God Bless..

 

Try an external monitor. If the same thing happens, it's probably a failing graphics card.

I would try to get a refund on it from the seller. It's not going to be an easy fix.

 

Yep, these things are notorious for having bad video cards. Even if the seller did a full check on the card, it could have simply been too much when you loaded it a couple more times.

Technically it IS an easy fix since you can swap out the GPU... it's just a stupidly expensive one considering how overpriced the cards are.
