I am using HP Pavillion DV-6845-TX laptop. Problem is the dedicated graphics card, nVidia GeForce 8400M GS 256MB. Which is well known for it's major failure. My motherboard was replaced (after paying a heavy charge) around 4 months ago and the new one was again sent to repair around 2 months ago.

My questions are:

1. Can I use different graphics card, if yes then give me the complete detail.

2. Can I put different motherboard with AMD Radeon HD series graphics card, if yes then give me the complete detail.

If both answers are no, then tell me what can I do to prevent my motherboard from graphics failure?

You cannot upgrade Graphic card on a Laptop. Its way too complex and impossible in most cases.

Replacing the entire motherboard for better graphics might be possible but I donot think it will be very economically feasible. Ask the dealer if he can help.

yea present day replacing the mb is not recommended due to the cost unless it is a costly laptop
