Replacing Graphic Card on XL202?

[bluetyler]

Hello All,

My NVDIA 7600GTL which came with my XL202 has been playing up displaying crazy interference on boot and also when the boot is clean the anomaly occurs randomly during operation, sometimes after 2 mins other times 2 hours, also crashing to Blue Screen on boot. Its hooked up to a KDL-40X2000 and all other inputs are fine so no problem with the TV. The blue screen messages asks me to contact the BIOS vendor but surely it can't be the bios that's causing the problem? Could it? How would I fix this??

I've also updated the drivers to the latest version but the intermittent problem still persists and now is almost permanent.

If I do want to upgrade the card can anyone recommend a compatible card that is similarly 'quiet' but not as expensive as the Nvidia? Sony want £360 to buy this custom card direct. Yikes!

Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
