ok, I've never had a problem with my laptop in the 1.5ish years I've had it all the way up until last week, when one random day I was playing games on it and it decided to display black with white stripes all over the screen. There was no way to get out of it besides manually turning off my computer. Since then, this has been happening to me over and over.

After talking amongst other people about the problem, from what I understand is it is most likely something being caused by my graphics card which is crashing the computer. Something along the lines of a BIOS not working? The thing is, I've checked for updates and I am currently running the newest version I think.

I'm using the AMD 880G with ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4200. If anyone knows anything or has any questions, pleaseeeee post and help me out, thanks.
