    Meant to say 3438g laptop my mistake.


    I was just roaming the internet after a game of counter-strike when my screen suddenly changed to aload of dark grey and black lines going across my screen, panicking i held the off button down in an attempt to get rid of this.

    Upon rebooting my laptop it was there again, it was the first thing to pop up when i pressed the on button, no XP logo or anything.


    HELP!!!

    Yup, sounds like your gpu may be dead.

    Yeah, they go down the screen and they change colour and size sometimes, is there anyway to fix it or do i have to put it in for repair.
