You are better of taking it to a local shop. Geek squad usually just defaults to formatting if the first couple things they try don't fix it. I used to work in a small computers shop and I'd bet half our customers were coming in from geek squad because they didn't want to format...90% of the time we were able to avoid that.
To test the ram...download this and burn it to a cd. Restart windows and boot from that cd...it will start testing the ram....you usually know if it's bad within 15 minutes...but the test will take anywhere from 15 minutes to an hour depending on how much ram you have.

Sorry, I thought I read earlier that you had blown out the laptop, not that you were getting air to do it today...I would do that first still. But as far as the monitor goes, some laptops swap automatically...some don't. the function button plus the Fkey with a monitor symbol(usually F5) should force it to use your VGA port.
