Hi PHiNiX,
I have a laptop that was about a year old before it crapped out. I got the blue screen of death and now the monitor won't turn on. You can hear it buzzing as if the fan is on, but other than that, it doesn't sound like it was reading anything and the screen was just black.
Is there anything I can do to fix it?
If you need the specs, I gotta wait til I get an apartment and unpack all my boxes (long story) since I don't know which box it's in... *sigh*
Just wondering if you know off the top of your head :)

BSoDs tend to happy with faulty RAM more than anything... Why not pull a stick, change DIMM slots on the motherboard, and test once more. And just because I can, I wanna say the problem lies with that processor being AMD :P

snake your help is always welcome, but i thought it would be nice to have a single place for people to look to supply help or get it if they need it. its really hard to find help when there is alot of posts threads can tend to over power another
