I have an HP Pavilion P6604y. It has been working perfectly for the past few months that I have had it, but today when using it, it blue screened on me. When I saw this, I thought "OK, it's probably just a bad program I installed. When I went to uninstall, it booted fine, but then my monitors both just went to sleep. I thought "crap, looks like I need a new GPU". It's the integrated running at the time, but I have a PCI-e slot open. When I tried rebooting, it would turn on, but the monitors wouldn't turn on. I went to my laptop to google about this, and it said a lot of different things. I thought it was that the PSU took out the GPU. My PSU is a crappy one that came with an ATX casing I got in a trade on Craigslist http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3250925) <--- Case and PSU there. So when I tried rebooting, it all worked for about 10 minutes. Then my screens shut off again. This time I thought "I have my old GPU that's partially dead sitting around, I'll check if the PSU is still good. It was, along with everything else, but that graphics card is unusable. It displays dots on the screens in red, green, and blue. Then that caused a blue screen, and when I boot it now, all fans run as if the computer is booting. They won't stop with high speed. I'm wondering if maybe there is a problem with the motherboard, or if I should replace the PSU and GPU.
**UPDATE**
Got it to reboot, but then the monitor does what is in the picture here: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/268/fm7v.jpg/
Is that a graphics card issue?
