    Im having a problem problem with my GPU I think. The problem is that while gaming sometimes green vertical lines appear on the screen, and then the computer crashes. I don't remember exactly when this problem started, but I've had this problem at least 1 month.

    I just found out that if I use ATI Tool and starts "Show 3D View" the green lines appear at once, and then the computer crashes. I can play all games I have tried (mainly old games like Empire Earth and War Craft 3, but also Football Manager 09 with 3d match), and they work, but sometimes the screen goes green and the computer crashes. If I use an external monitor it just says "no signal".

    It's not the GPU overheating, and I have tried at least 6 different VGA drives. I have no idea how to fix it. But it's something with the GPU I think. My laptop is out of waranty, so I don't want Zepto to repair it.

    Welcome to the club, your GPU is officially fried, just like mine (3 times now)...
