Same driver at fault.

Go back to HP site, download and install chipset driver (Spring 2008 Original Intel Chipset Driver).
If that doesn't help, your video chip may be failing.
You may need to buy real video card.

[GGVenom]

Oh darn....i've already installed that

What do you mean by real video card???
And any video card will do??

[Broni]

Now, you have just on-board video chip, not a real video card.
Those chips fail sometime.

As for new video card, almost any card will do. It depends, what you use your computer for.
You only need to know, what type of slots you have available, PCI, AGP, or PCIEx

[GGVenom]

Oh alright!
Thanks for all your help!

Oh  last questions!
Do I get rid of the video chip when I get a new video card?
How can I tell whether its a video card not a chip?

Thanks again!

[Broni]

You're welcome

You do have on-board video chip: Spring 2008 Original NVIDIA Unified Graphics Driver

When you install new video card, it'll automatically disable on-board video. Nothing to remove.

Sorry to bother you again but

I've opened my computers inside after I googled what these slots looked like and I couldnt find them.  I searched my computer model up and it said i should have a pci-e x16 avaliable

Can you help me out if I post a picture or two of my computers inside? 

[Broni]

Why are we talking about two computers now?

i should have a pci-e x16 avaliable

You need to buy PCI-Ex type card then.

[GGVenom]

Sorry about that typo haha
It says I have a slot open on the web, but I can't locate it.....

[Broni]

Here you go:

[GGVenom]

Thanks  
Im getting rather nervous, are you positive its 100% my graphics card?
Sorry to question you.  Im just really curious

[Broni]

It looks to me like video chip problem.
Installing new card is really not a big deal.

[GGVenom]

Alright thanks, bit tight on money so just making sure that the new card will fix it.  Thanks
