BIOS Updates forum

hello,

first i must say i'm a total newbie for bios.. (you people must be thinking like sigh another one) i'm sorry

but i have a acer aspire 9813WKMI with phoenix bios
now it says vga bios verion is: nVIDEA G73 E463 5.73.22.15.48
but my vga is Nvidia geforce 7600 go for notebook
bios verion : v2.14
is this correct ????

the problem is:
when i install windows 7 or vista it all works fine but if i want to start the advanced startup options (that's f8 menu wile booting right after the bios splash screen).
it wont show but i know it's there because i can choose safe mode, i only need to guess where in the menu is hidden.
so i have the menu but in black screen..

when i install ubuntu 11.10 everything works fine only but when i login in ubuntu en start the terminal (ctrl+alt+f1 or ctrl+alt+f2 or ctrl+alt+f6) the screen is black and it shows me nothing.
it also says something about the vga on the install, when pressing f6 on loading of install you get a list that checks hardware like audo bluetooth vga but everything says ok except at vga(or video or graphic i can't remember wich one) it says failed
also i dont get the splash screen,
also when i startup to grub (shift holding while booting after the splash screen of bios) it gives me stripes...
so i say it's my vga but as i said i'm a total newbie in bios or what so ever.....

is there someone that can help me i use different forums, but nobody know anything...

please tell me what to do step by step

thank you

1) the graphics chip in this one is failing.
2a) find out if the graphics chip is mounted on a seperate card, if so, replace the card
2b) if the graphics chip is in the laptop itself send it to the Acer service center and be prepared for a bill if out of warranty.

thank you for the quick response.
well it''s on the motherboard so...
i probally need to sent it at acer service center
