    Are you techy enough to change the motherboard yourself, if not, probably cheaper to buy another laptop.
    Was there any recent trauma to the unit that might have knocked loose some memory. That sometimes causes what you are describing. Other than that, we need more info on exactly what is happening. :confused:
