Could this be the graphics card or something else?

    Go into the bios, there should be a setting for selecting the graphics adapter to use, select the pci express option

    Reload the Graphics drivers.
    Often this is caused by poor drivers not starting up correctly after hibernate or sleep.

    Does this still happen when cold booting ?
