I own a sony desktop vaio with win xp which is about 5 years old.
Sometimes it boots fine,fans run low speed.
Sometimes when I start it,fans run at very high speed and I get black screen doesn't even show bios screen.
When I get black screen,I have to shut off manually a couple of times to get it to boot properly.
Also a few times when computer is running it seems like built in video card on motherboard is failing cause I get garbled screen.
Could it be bad video section on motherboard?
Can I install a new video card,would this fix boot problem?
