    I am currently having a problem with the new 680m that i installed today, the laptop will not start up if the power block is connected and it gives me the Video card error beep/lights, but if i start it without the power block plugged in it will boot just fine.

    Edit: Now all she does it give me the VGA beep/lights error. Now i'm back to my old ATI card and that one works fine.

    Any one have any ideas? could the card be dead?

    Thanks
