Who would of thought my first post would be a sad one?

My laptop broke!

More importantly, the graphic card inside...

My friend messed around with it, and i'm able to get into Windows now, but apparently there's some sort of, "Hardware deadlock," going on...

I'm going to see what I can do about it - but I wanted to post and let you know what's happening incase you don't see me...

So, here's the result:

My computer has had issues overheating for some time, and i've been pretty tricky about finding ways to stop it from randomly shutting down on me.

When I was in warranty HP told me it was a software issue (it'd usually happen when I had lots going on, like iTunes, etc etc)
It was infrequent back then too, so I ignored it.

Today I got a message about my VPU not being able to restore due to a hardware deadlock, and Windows would need to restart. Now when I restarted, after the startup screen, my whole screen would go black and stay that way.

I went and tried a Windows Repair, and I could get back in. I tried running Windows Update, etc - but my computer bluescreened and began dumping physical memory because of an ati file...

So my computer overheated, and blew my graphics card.

I called HP about this, and they told me it was $400 dollars for the repair...

Sooooooo......

I threw one of the hugest b***h fits EVER and because I am Champion of the Universe - HP admitted defeat.
They agreed to repair it for free, and cover all the UPS costs.

The downside to it all is that I won't have my labels/box until Wednesday, and they take 3-5 days for the repair. They're letting me ship it overnight, and return it overnight, but I still won't be here for atleast a week...

I'm bummed about that, that's for sure. I miss you guys already!!

I may try to jump into the forums while i'm gone. Don't let too much change while i'm away!
