From: Linea Recta on 1 Nov 2009 12:16 I was just waching a video stream when the screen suddenly changed into a blocked mosaic, then black. When trying to reboot the notebook, the screen seems divided into two halves, an upper and a lower half. So now I see two bios password pronpts. After entering the password, at first it seems to go on booting, but before I get to the Vista logon screen it just reboots by itself and I get the divided bois screen with password prompts again. I suppose the videocard has died? Notebook, purchased march 2008. -- regards, |\ /| | \/ |@rk \../ \/os

Could be the video card, LCD panel, or power regulators. It could even be a loose plug. It is still under warrantee right? May work fine with an external monitor. That still won't tell you what is wrong though. -- Bill Asus EEE PC 701G4 ~ 2GB RAM ~ 16GB-SDHC Windows XP SP2
From: Barry Watzman on 1 Nov 2009 13:17 Re: "I suppose the videocard has died?" Leave the machine cool -- completely -- and try again. If it's ok at first but fails later, it may be overheating. Re: "I suppose the videocard has died?" Laptops usually don't have videocards. So, for most practical purposes, the more likely answer is that the motherboard has died.
