I was playing wow and then all of a sudden a Windows message poped up that said "Display drivers has stopped functioning properly, please reboot the system". It had been happening to me for the last couple of days so I just went ahead and restart the laptop by manually holding down the power button until it shut down.
Then the problem started. I can turn the laptop on but thats all i can do. I can tell that it has power but the screen is blankly black. I thought that the lcd screen was broken so I tested the laptop with another monitor. It didnt work either so the problem is not the lcd. I can hear the noises from the fan. Any help is appreciated

Have u thought about putting a recovery disc in or a boot disc. This is kinda wierd how its not showing you anything and is not have any issues with the lcd.

Have u tried withe the poer cord in the wall and plugged in and on and see if you get any response there.

Nothing wrong with the power supply i think and i have cleaned up the fan as well but that wouldn't resolve the issue. The problem might come from the cpu and mainboard beung defective but I dont know how to test it. Does anybody know
