    Laptop problem need immediate assisstance before i waste money!

    Hi guys it seems my luck has turned on me...again. I am back for the summer and am going to be doing a lot of lanning with my bro and friends and the problem is my laptop decides to take a turn for the worst! Below is the problem and specs if needs be, thanks

    The problem is as follows, i moved the mouse to open up the screen and opened Firefox, i noticed and the screen kept on flickering well not flickering exactly it is as if you keep hitting the F11 key continuously you know? i closed Firefox and opened another application (My Computer) same thing happened.

    My brother suggested i restart, and i did, took me to the XP loading screen then a BSOD appeared for a split second then kind of restarted the comp and the process repeated itself i tried to go in with Safe mode but to no avail the split screen bsod shows up again then forced reboot :s :s

    I desperately need some help i was playing Star Wars Battle Front 2 with my brother last night and had some brilliant fun help me have fun again please.

    The laptop has been with my since Q4 2007, it is from Hypersonic (Sager notebook)

    Specs: XP Home SP3
    Intel P965 chip mobo
    T7500, 2.2ghz
    8600M GT 512MB
    4GB Ram (corsair 2gb, twinMOS 2gb)
    100gb Hitachi 7,200rpm

    All stock speeds.
    Thanks again.

    So it keeps BSOD'ing every time you try boot? Try load the XP disc and repair.

        Well, that's a sign of bad NVIDIA chip reported last year. You need to RAM it back and have them replace the motherboard for you. They should do it without charging you anything.

                okay, i could not find my OS CD my best bet is i left in in my flat in newcastle with my other things. Anyways i took it to my local tech shop they got it undercontrol best thing is they never even charge much lol i would be paying 5 dinars at most. (13 USD, 8 GBP)
