    I think the best thing to do before upgrading would be to pinpoint the problem before spending money on any upgrades. It may be worthwhile taking it to a service centre of somesort to see if they can identify the problem as the other thread has until now failed to pinpoint the problem, although it seems as if it maybe the GPU or motherboard.

    Ok it seems that the motherboard is ok so if someone knows what types of cpu's/gpu's i can use i would really be thankful. I dont mind if its ATI or Nvidia but i would like to know if the 9600m gt will work or other equal ATI card.

    Thank you.
