[Isidoro]

Hello I have Sony Vaio VGN-FZ21Z laptop and it is been installed with Windows Vista. The problem is that the device was working fine but then suddenly now when I turn on my system I get a distorted graphics or screen on startup. I have no idea what could have been the reason for the same. Please do help me out in getting the issue to be sorted. It would be a great help. I use NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GS graphic card.

The problem is possibly related to the graphic card and it could be that you may need to install the appropriate drivers for the same. It could be that the driver is corrupt and hence you need to uninstall the driver that is been corrupt and get a fresh copy of the same and get it install to the system. Hope this will help. Do check for the thing and make the necessary implementation.

I would suggest you to plug the device to external monitor and then check out. You may then come across that the issue is with the graphic card or the screen. It could be possible that the screen might have gone damage or some IC may have been worn out. So I would suggest you to do the needful. IT may help.

I guess the drivers are not compatible with the system. So in order to heck out you can try out by installing the drivers under safe mode or under compatibility mode. Install the application by right clicking on the installer.exe and install under compatible mode for Windows Xp. Also you can try upgrading the driver and then check out for the output. This may also help you well.

The problem could generally be related to the panel that is connected to the keypad. That is the strip between the screen and the keypad may have been worn out and this is the reason that you are not able to cope well with the thing. So in order to make the issue sorted so do look out for the thing well. So check out.

I would recommend you to take the device to the manufacturer. They will help you out well for getting the things to work out well for you and make the proper changes as required. So do check out and process well. I hope you may then be able to sort the thing. It is definitely the issue with graphic slot or the card that is installed. Service it.
