The problem was the same on the external monitor. So I'm assuming something internal is very messed up.

A new motherboard for a laptop is probably expensive. Since it's out of warranty, HP wants $300 just to send it in, plus the price of any parts to repair it. So the motherboard is probably 300+$ I'd imagine. Not worth fixing. =(

I guess I've learned to buy extended warranties, and not use a laptop for gaming because you can't easily replace a part inside for a hundred bucks and be all better.
