    Recently my alienware m5550's video card got messed up somehow. Every time I boot up my alienware the Alien logo at start up has lines running through it and so does the xp logo. Every time I enable the geforce go 7600, the screen turns black after the windows logo and nothing happens. I tried formatting my computer, re-seating the video card, and using a new video card driver but none worked. Can someone please help me fix it
    Thanks for reading.

    how to repair your dead graphics card in your alienware!!!!!

    I'm not 100% certain if it'll work but considering it's probably out of warranty, you could give it a shot.
