Big problem with laptop!

ViperGTS500

Today when I turned my laptop on, the screen went crazy. It was all funny and all this weird stuff showed up. I turned it off and then turned it back on. It started to go, you could hear it, then you could hear it just quit. The power button and lights would still stay on. Nothing on the screen came on. There is no problem with the screen though (it's new). The hard drive was checked and is fine. A guy said it may be the motherboard or maybe a connection is lose. Can anyone help me? It's a Compaq Presario M2000. I really don't want to spend $200 and send it to Compaq to be fixed.
 
i too think that the unit's mainboard has died; the garbage that you said was displayed previously would also suggest this
