Gfx card or overheating or power management or memory or what? problem

I have the Acer 1363WLMi. Standby mode does not work, frezzes with black screen once activated. I dont use it so that is not a major issue.
The thing that bugs me the most it is graphic adapter issue.
It will work fine for not really specific period of time. Crashes powered on battery, while charging and on AC power as well.
The problem looks like this - will start with small vertical lines running randomly through the screen and will just get worse - the screen will go black for a second, fan will start (!) and it will eventually crash with frozen distorted screen and one long and two short beeps. That seems to say that the display adapter is malfunctioning but reset it and it will go back to normal. It kinda starts with a ‘click’ in the hard drive.
how to fix the darn thing? s.o.s.!

Hey, I had a 1522wlmi, witch is the brother model of your laptop, the models have issues, parts fail within 12months. Your only option to get the problem fixed is to send your vga card to www.acerparts.com by ordering a replacement model. Only option is repairflow as far as i know at the time.

I had my vgaboard at acerparts for 6months, I got it back but had issues with games, i send it back waited a few months and got my money back.

Then I send my laptop to my local acer. It was analysed since it had taken more than 3 months to replace my card. I they suggested to repair the laptop for 300eur thats around 400-500 usd. Im pretty sure it wont last more than 12months so in the long run your better off buying a new laptop, dont buy acer.

Good luck.

Screen stays black

when you first power on do you see bios info on the screen? if not (since its a laptop) chances are onboard video card maybe bad.
if you do see it do you see windows start showing at all? in either case wether you see it or not try booting up in safe mode (start hitting F8 key right after bios goes away) and if it works. if you are able to see screen in safe mode chances are drivers are corrupt i would say go in device manage and uninstall display adapter and restart computer and let it boot normally and see it make any difference... if it works get new drivers from manufacturer and install.

let me know if it helps.

Problem black screen for acer aspire 5050

Probably the video card. Check in Device manager to ensure the drivers are not corrupt. If they are there will be a yellow, red or black sign next to the video device. Right click, uninstall the driver then reboot. The plug and play will load the correct driver. If that does not work then replacing the video card is needed.

1. Removed your MMC card first.

2. Make sure you have at least 3/4 charge of battery before performing the

Blank screen

Check the fan on your video card if it has one. If it does have one and it's not working correctly then it will overheat very quickly.
This sort of issue can be caused by a million things but your description points to the card overheating or the memory on the video card dying.

Dell monitor power down mode with Geforce GFX card install

I think maybe some how the main graphics for your pc has possibly switched to onboard. Try getting into bios F2 or DEl on boot up and highlight Advanced ChipsetFeatures and press Enter. In here make sure your AGP card is set as the Primary graphics controller. When done press ESC and 'Y' to save settings, then re-boot pc. Hope this gets you running again.
