    My laptop's video completely hosed up 10 minutes ago. I was surfing the website when the screen completely corrupted and began flickering. It's doing this everytime I start the laptop pup now.

    The laptop is a Samsung X15 Plus using a Geforce FX 5200 Go. I can still see vaguely where my mouse is, so I managed to uninstall the Nvidia drivers and update the BIOS in Windows. No luck though. When I go into the properties of the VGASave, under Resources tab, it says in the Conflicting Device List -

    Input/Output Range 03B0 - 03BB used by:
    Intel (R) 82855PM Processor to AGP Controller - 3341
    Input/Output Range 03C0 - 03DF used by:
    Intel (R) 82855PM Processor to AGP Controller - 3341
    Input/Output Range 000A0000 - 000BFFFF used by:
    Intel (R) 82855PM Processor to AGP Controller - 3341

    wtf is going on? Is the gfx card? Processor? Doesn't look like something a format would fix. I've disabled hardware accel/write combing in monitor settings and it's still doing it.
