The vertical lines appear in BIOS, same lines appear even if I boot from a Recovery CD. Video card?

Yes, I can get to BIOS. Yes, I have Boot CD.

I tried that and this is what happened: When I power it on those nasty vertical lines appeared. I went safe mode I tried to reach the restore center but it stopped responding. So I guess I need a new video adapter ?

In the very beginning. When I press the power on button the pc turns on but the screen remains black (lit but black) no letters, no symbols or anything. I'm starting to think that the video card is f***** up. This issue occurred when I was away and the laptop was in screen saver mode (Windows Energy ss).

Hello, I just can't understand what happened. My laptop was working perfectly until this morning. I turned it on and checked my e-mail everything was working fine then I went jogging. When I came back the monitor was black and I couldn't do anything. I removed the battery in order to turn the laptop off and then tried to restart. Same black screen appeared I can't do absolutely anything. Can someone help me, please? I am supposed to sail off on Monday and if I can't use my laptop it will be really sad for me. Btw it's HP Pavilion dv9270us, Centrino Duo, GF GO7600, 2GB, running on Windows Vista Home Premium x64 SP1 Thank you MSFN in advance and sorry for my english.
