Pretty colours at boot up

Post by birdie »

Here's the story...
Yesterday, when playing PR the game just froze for about 5 seconds, then unfroze for about 3 then froze again. Then, then mylaptop just turned itself off. Fearing that when I booted it up I would get the blue screen of death, I got somthing much, much worse...

...pretty colours dancing across my screen! Usually blacks, whites, pinks and greens. Then after about a minuite of these colours the screen would fade out to black and I would hear the vista jingle in the background, yet still no image.

This happenens every time I boot it up.

So I check if it was my screen: I plugged an external monitor into my laptop and switched to it using the 'function' keys. No picture appeared on the monitor.

Heres what Im using:
Acer aspire 5920G laptop
Vista home edition
8600 GS
2.0 duo
2GB RAM

Hopfully somone can help me :)
Thanks all.

Overheating of the graphics card would be my guess. I've seen that on a few laptops.
