    Update: Drained battery quick w/fans. It started up this time. What should I look into as for cause?


    The left light is white and occasionally shows motion, screen black. [F3 does nothing/no KB at all ...have no external]

    All I can do is let the battery run out. Should I? [edit: I unplugged it because it will take a long time to deplete]

    I didn't even register it yet or set up a recovery disc, was going to do that this morning.

    What to do?

    Update Question.

    I looks like a nvidia driver issue, doesn't it? Could it have occurred from rollback?

    Bad Start:

    ...off of bad shutdown. [Yes, all 123 instances occurred at the same time.]

    UPDATE: I DDU'd the Nv driver & installed 347.09. Hopefully this is the end of the issue.
