Well since it is a laptop more than likely the video card and the motherboard are the same animal. Very few laptops have removable video chips. I would say based on the information that your video chip has failed. unfortunately the only way to fix it is to replace the motherboard.

Could you please post your laptop's make and model number?

Please take notice. Oreo and I will not be available until June of 2012.
Thank you for understanding my absence, it is job and college related, so all is good. If I do not answer your PMs this is the reason why. See you all soon!
