    Hello
    I have a 1.5 yr old HP Pavillion dv 9000t with Windows vista,2gb ram and Nvidia geforce 512mb GPU.

    Here are my problems:

    1.I see colored lines against a black background during bootup instead of the noemal bootscreen.Here is a picture

    2.When I play a video the computer freezes and the screen goes black for 10-20 seconds.the screen then comes back.This happens repeatedly 4-5 times and then eventually the video runs alright.

    3.Games dont run..the computer freezes

    4.When I surf the internet,the page opens normally but when I scroll down the page,it gets all messed up.To rectify it,i have to minimize the page and the maximize it again.This problem doesnt arise when Im reading a pdf file in adobe reader.

    Please help me...where do you think the problem could be? RAM,GPU or LCD.

    Thanks
