Hi

I am trying to repair the laptop of the girl next door.
The problem is that its showing no reaction on the screen.
So i hooked it up on a seperate monitor trough vga.
Now its showing some strange 4bit colors and takes a standard resolution of 640x480.
I noticed that whenever i start the computer, the graphic card is not activated.
Everytime i go to the settings, activate it and install the drivers.
Then i restart and its back to square 1.

anyone has an idea?

its an old hp laptop running
Geforce go 7600
2gb Ram
250Gb hdd
...

Thanks in regards

haha the 'girl next door' eh, anyway have you tried going into the graphics section of the BIOS and making sure the graphics is being sent through the PCI-E Slot instead of some other slot?
