xa2528 didnt want to install windows and now its almost dead

hi all!
half a year ago changed from vista on xp, already then had problems, tryed about 4 different Xp Cds, only one installed.
so now even the version I installed then doesnt work. After 'boot from Cd' it was showing blue install screen for 10 sec, then the screen was getting black or was turning off. So I tryed to install vista, I almost succseeded, but after reboot while installing prosess the screen got black and the prosess stoped moving.
After that was trying to install Xp again, after 10-15 another trys (different Cds) it started to:
1)when you turn it on, screen works but doesnt show anything, then after cople min the computer turns off
or
2)it starts normaly (sometime with vertical stripes:)) ) , shows the sceen where u can chuse F2 or F12, after booting from Cd it: A)just turns off the screen B)If vistas Cd is inside works for half a minute, checks how much of install is done or something, then turns off.
So how far am I? Is it Bios down? :twisted:
Thnx :mrgreen:

Vertical sripes on the display are often a sign of a defective graphics card.

First I wasnt thinking that it is graphics, but today, first it started showing messages like 'press any key to continue instalation' without showing half of the words, then screen was showing blue sqers. And now the screen doesnt turn all atall)It BEEPs 3 times when trying to switch it on. Is it the END?
So could the graphics card be broken because of changing windows? or because of 30 tryes starting windows instalation?

It seems like it is the end of your graphics card. I never heard that a high number of installations can cause such a damage.

You should call the official support and tell them about the stripes. Then they will ask you to send the notebook to a service partner. Ask the support, if you can remove your HDD to save your data. They will allow this but you need the confirmation.
