I have been using my compaq hp for about two years now,recently it developed a fault,it didn't display anything when I switched it on.When I took it to an engineer,he told me it has VG problem and he also said it can't be changed.He repaired it and barely a week after,the same problem has reoccured.Is there any hope of getting it back into its normal self without the VG problem reoccuring?

is it a brand new laptop? may be you need to set resolution...if new i think it should look good anyways if used may be there is no video/graphic driver installed

the engineer who opened it and diagnosed will know better though... if the graphic card is bad.... a good engineer can replace it... I have seen such a problem mostly caused by heat.... the card gets heated then detach from the board. your location? so an engineer from here can carry on the repair

he is right then... the card is on the motherboard .......he opened it so he might have seen the damages and concluded it's not fixable.

It is a new one, running windows 7 and i did the set up my self, just wondering if it could be an issue of missing display driver. The display was clear throughout the windows installation procedure it just became distorted after the windows was completely installed. What do you think could be wrong? Thanks

Given adewasko's advice, please consider the followings.

Restart laptop and keep pressing f10 for bios
navigate to diagnostics and run a memory test.
After that please run a hard drive test as well.

Make sure there is power going to the laptop.

Having identified all of these problems,
I would advise that you backup
your data such as pictures, music, videos
and anything that's important to you. In practice,
I would have reset the laptop back to factory settings.

Given all the problems you've had, its better to reset it.
If you don't want factory reset, you can go to a technician to try and fix it.

Once you backup your data.please get back to us and one of my colleagues would
talk through how to start a system recovery outside windows. in the meanwhile, please
backup your important data. The system recovery would reset it to how it was when you bought it.

please make sure there is plenty of power going to the laptop. The process would last between 1-2hrs.
Before the recovery make sure the HP WIRELESS AND BLUEBOOTH IS on so system recovery can install the drivers.
After system recovery please ensure you install windows update and any other important update.

choosing between Intel and AMD is always a problem. let me break it down for you . Intel is the best, performance is great and serves longer, most PC with motherboard problem with me are majorly AMD but AND have one of the best graphic you could need for gaming.

that's for performance, for price.

AMD are way cheaper than Intel. now make your decision
