    Hi, I have
    Intel dual core 6000
    4Gb ram
    AMD 4570
    Bios vA07
    Win 8.1 32bit

    Now, every now and then screen goes to black and I can't do anything with it.
    There is sometimes when booting the notebook, loading bar stucks at Dell logo (before loading Windows).

    I thought it's the GPU but I uninstalled drivers and the same happened.
    Could you tell me how to fix this and what could be the problem.
    I think it's not the GPU because drivers are not installed.

    .There are new bios updates available but I'm afraid to install it.

    Or should I replace the battery ?

    Update:
    Motherboard on Studio has flanked completely after 8 years of use.
    Everything else is working fine.

    I don't know what to do. Should I pay for new MBO or should I buy new laptop which I need to postpone because I don't have the money at the moment.
