My video adapter went bad on my hp dv9074cl I just want to know what other motherboard can I install or does it have to be the same one it has

My dv9074cl blue screened one day while just sitting there idle, and now video memory appears to be corrupted. The 0x bluescreen error I get if I try to boot normally seems to agree.

I have a recurring pattern of dots/lines at boot (POST) and in the BIOS setup program as well. Win-dohs (XP) will boot in safe mode (with a similar pattern of video corruption) but not in normal mode (blue screen crash occurs). HP support recommended updating the BIOS but there isn't a BIOS update listed on the support page for this model. Doh! This sounds like a widespread problem related to the Nvidia graphics board, which is unfortunately built-in to the motherboard. :-(
