Pencil Hardware Problem Or Else?

I have a HP Dv9548us Laptop bought 1.2 years before. Last week while I was watching movie on it, the screen started flickering and the computer was shut down. I restarted the laptop ,it started normally but 5 min later it did the same thing. I ran a hardware test and a memory test but without any errors. I checked the fan, ran the antivirus Mcfee test, cleaned the comp, changed the Lithium battery but nothing proved helpful. I even bought a laptop cooling pad. BUT The problem is worsening till then. Now the laptop is not even starting until I uninstall the GeForce 8600M GS driver of the laptop by going in the safe mode. If I install the driver again it does not start again. Also even if I uninstall the graphics driver the startup screen shows red white dotted lines but the computer starts and works on standard VGA graphics adapter. Can anyone give me the idea whats wrong? Is it the video card or psu or something else which is dying?
