Hey,
Feel free to move this to the laptop section but it was kinda urgent as I've got to use the laptop to do work on v.soon! Thought I'd get a quicker reply here.
I was using it earlier today, (it tends to overheat a lot) and was on the forums, I noticed some peoples sigs had become pixelated / lines were visible etc. It all then froze.
I restarted it, and nothing appeared on the screen.
Gave it 10mins - started it up and the screen didnt load again, but I got 3 beeps through my speakers.
Left it for an hour, started it - worked fine. I then decided maybe the fans were clogged up with dust. Opened it all up, no dust, closed it and started it again. Get a black screen again....
I've just started it up after leaving it for another hour or so and its done a few CHKDSK scans, and so far it seems stable.
Any ideas what the problem may be? My brother suggested the integrated graphics chip might have been overheating. I've never experienced that problem before though - and it's gotten much hotter!
