Screen Won't startup [ Edited ]

[The1MegaByte]

I have a Dv9207us  with Windblows Vista.

When I turn the laptop on, one of two things could happen. One, the screen does not turn on. Two, I get a Blue Screen. I have a picture of the Blue Screen, with the error nvlddmkm.sys, and the lines.

Also, during POST there are lines running vertically on the screen. Then during Windblows Error Recovery, where it asks whether to start into Safe Mode or Normally the lines disappear. Then during , the lines reappear. Although I am able to start into Safe Mode.

Most of what I have been able to see on the laptop, is because I have it plugged into an external monitor.

I have done the following troubleshooting.

I’ve re-re-re-installed the Video driver in safe Mode.

I’ve run Windblows Update.

I’ve tested the RAM and the RAM slots. I’ve swapped RAM: installed one at a time and tested the laptop; I’ve also installed each one into a different slot. I’ve cleaned the RAM with an eraser.

I’ve done the HD Self Test. I’ve reseated the HD.

I’ve turned off the wireless NIC. I’ve even taken out the wireless NIC.

I’ve done so many Hard Resets that I don’t think it remembers its’ name.

Unfortunately this looks like a hardware issue on the notebook. You might want to send the notebook in for a repair to have this issue fixed.
