hi im trying to fix a hp laptop for my boss at work but I have run into some problems.
when he gave it to me he said that it wasnt doing what its ment to do. so i brought it home and started it up and it seamed to be running fine.
I tried running a basic game of solitare and it would freeze every now and again but always came right. after about half an hour it suddenley spilt the screen. there is now 6 copies of the desktop on the one screen.

now this does not happen every time the laptop is turned on but it does seam to be a constant thing if the laptop gets hot.
also it is not a windows thing as it occurs during boot up and even in the bios screen
can anyone tell me what is occuring here. is it a cracked graphics card/motherboard.
