Sounds like a video problem with the GBA (grid Ball array) The HP pavilion tx series are notorious for this problem. The solder on the bottom of the video circuit crystalizes from the heat (these laptops run hot) and then it doesnt make a good connection. You have to reflow the solder (usually means taking apart or sending to a shop). But I found a quick and easy fix for them, I fixed about a dozen already like this in my shop (I own one too) Turn on laptop..then wrap it in 2 thick towels so it will get hot..sounds crazy, but it works..leave in towels running for about 30 or 40 minutes, then unwrap the laptop, power it off and restart it..bet it works!!!
