no display, only screen glows,over heating problem to display card
Hi,
I own a HP DV 2601 TX special edition laptop.
Problem is after starting the laptop, the screen glows and no display!
i got it repaired once, now after using it for 30-40 mins it again gives the same problem, and if i try to reboot, a blue screen error shows up with a msg "Memory Parity error".
But once it is cold, it again starts normally,(but the situation goes worse every time).
I have been told the problem is because of the Nvidia graphics card (onboard) generates a lot of heat, and cant be repaired, so i have to replace the mother board.
Can anyone please help?
Kapol.
Is this a good question?

Sounds like you may have smoked your graphics card processor. I had the same thing happen to my ATI Radeon 700 mobility in my laptop. I would be fine for a few minutes until the laptop heated up and then I would lose the signal from the graphics card and only have the back-light of the LCD. Eventually, the graphics never came back and I was unable to use the VGA out port to view the graphics either. The cost to repair the graphics card would be uneconomical versus the alternative to replace the entire motherboard or find a suitable replacement laptop. I found the same situation being my laptop was 4 years old and I could not find cause to spend the money on out-dated technology and instead opted to buy newer. Best of luck.
