Display fuzzy and Bootcamp
Hallo, I have a iMac Intel 21.5" EMC 2308 with Bootcamp: the computer starts with Windows 7.
When switching on, there is a problem with the display (I've seen this post with similar problem but I can't found the solution: Display fuzzy, stuck at start screen) and after 2-3 seconds the monitor becomes black (but the computer is on).
I think it is the GPU... maybe overheating?
I would like to know if it is possible to change the GPU (or if it is integrated) and, since that I need the data inside the hard drive, if I can connect the iMac to an external monitor for now: I tried it but anything appeared, the external monitor remained in stand-by. I don't know if external monitor works with Bootcamp.
I'd like to try to boot the computer with OS X but I don't know how to do that because display fuzzy.
How can I transfer data from hard drive with Bootcamp Windows 7 to a new PC Windows 7 (I need Windows because my old father doesn't know how to use OS X)?
Maybe to repair the GPU is too expensive and it is better to change the computer with a new PC Windows but I don't know how to transfer data.
Thank you in advance for your answer.

Have you tried connecting an external monitor to your system? Also do you have an external bootable drive with OS-X to see if that works?

Hallo, thank you for your answer.
Yes, I've tried with an external monitor but VGA Apple cable doesn't work with Windows 7, so the external monitor in not seen by the iMac. I found a post online with the same problem with the VGA cable and they suggested to buy another type of VGA cable to connect iMac with windows 7 to an external monitor.
I don't have an external bootable drive with OS X.... :(
