hi folks, first post, glad i found this place.
i have a sony vaio laptop, not sure of model but about 6 years old.
it runs pretty smoothly for about 5 minutes and then all of a sudden green lines (not so unsimilar from the matrix) appear at the top of the screen and it freezes.
then i have to reboot. but when i do it comes with a message that i should back up the hard drive immediately. however i am unable to do it due to the fact that it shuts down after 5 minutes.
has this happened before and do you know ways round it?
the fan works fine and the battery is relatively new and hard drive is only 2 years old.
