    Hi all

    I am using HP DV2109tx. The other day I left my laptop on and came back to find that my laptop seems to have frozen (only show black screen) so I restarted my computer. What happened then was that there are lots of green vertical line all over the screen. When I try to boot into Windows it just give me bluescreen. I then log into safe mode. Then I uninstall Nvidia 7200go driver which make Windows use its generic driver and the computer seems to run fine.

    What happen now is that there are lots of green vertical line across the screen from Bios into Vista booting screen but then when it get into Windows they all disappear. I tried reinstalling driver for 7200go but when its booting, the windows just give me back screen

    Does this mean my graphic card is busted? I have to wait for another month before I get to take it to service centre :(

    yeah, I'm guessing your card is busted, probably due to overheat or stress. Better send it to HP service for repair. Good Luck.
