    What are the symptoms of a motherboard failure? I have a VAIO laptop that has streaks of color through the display as the BIOS screen and WINDOW Welcome screen display, then the screen goes black and freezes. In the BIOS setup all of the words are heiroglyphics. Booting into the Safe Mode displays lines of heiroglyphics and after several seconds of scrolling files, the screen freezes. Does this sound like a motherboard?

    sounds like a GPU or possibly memory. if the GPU is integrated into the mainboard, then… by proxy, it’s the mainboard. 😉

    tried re-seating the memory yet?

    Dunno what you have on spam Boki.

    It sounds like the classic nVidia GPU failure mode. A reflow and proper connection of the GPU to the heatsink afterwards should fix it.

    the spam links weren’t there before. i’m going to have a look at the captcha settings on here, and see if they can be made to work better, not necessarily harder for humans to read. until then, bandana gets his name shortened to ban. 😛
