I am looking for some guidance. Here’s a little background, Asus F8SN - couple of year ago it window vista crapped out on it so a friend up Ubuntu on it. Not too long a ago the screen starting acting up and has ended with a big black vertical stripe off centre right and there are distorted version of the screen repeated on both sides (picture is of the boot up screen). I got a windows 7 boot up cd and was able to install. It fixed but the video card was no recognized until the diver was installed and then a couple of minutes later it did it again.
Has anyone dealt with this before?? Is it hardware, driver, firmware??? I feel like my laptop runs hotter than it should is that a factor??
Picture is from before 7 was installed but the problem looks the same.
Warning: I know a fair amount about computers but nothing really deep, but am not afraid to tinker.
PS Warranty etc is way past over
