Well laptop toally froze today in game, reset it to be presented with a bootup screen with a load of garbage for text, failed to boot into windows. Reset again to be presented with a screen filled with a hundred lines of all shapes and colours. I'm assuming the GPU is toast? did a power drain and rebooted got as far as windows login to be presented with a bluescreen about nvidia then back to magic line coloured display.
Any suggestions before it get launched out the window.
