vertical lines on startup

My NEC Versa laptop has vertical running lines at startup. Device manager shows the graphic card as the problem "The device cannot start (Code 10)"
Windows searched for a newer driver but none appeared. Once I get past the start up screen I can operate normally but I suppose the startup screen problem is a warning that things will crash sooner or later. I have searched the net to find out if the graphic card is integrated with the mother board but can't find any info. If that is the case is there anything I can do or is it a new machine given that laptop repairs are so expensive?

 

Let's start with the exact model number of your laptop and the operating system you're running (XP, Vista, 7). Then we can probably find the type of video chip in the laptop and point you to a driver.
