That is the code for a "video card" error. You might try to remove and replace the video card in a desktop PC.

Good Luck

It may have a video chip integrated into the motherboard. In that case you could add a video card if you happened to have an old one in the scrap box. You didn't say if this was a laptop. If it is there's not much you can do to fix it. since you can't replace or add a video card in these old laptops.

Good Luck
