Problem with my GT540M

[Dizz]

Hi everyone,

I was wondering if anyone had any idea as to why my graphics card might have practically stopped working on my laptop?

Its a 540M, been going well for nearly 2 1/2 years with no dramas at all then one day decided to play up.

I'm getting what looks like cubes dancing around in where images should be on games. It has trouble even loading the image in the Nvidia control panel. I have tried re-installing the original driver but that hasnt done anything. It cant even play super meat boy which is pretty.....terrible.

Any help or advice would be good. If you would like me to post a picture of what it looks like when its trying to load a game then I will.

Thanks
