    I was sitting happy on spotify minding my own business, when my laptop decided to spaz out and start flashing grey on the screen and completely locked.
    I've scanned my laptop and no virsuses have been found.

    any ideas?
    thanks in advance.

    was it just the display driver crapping out try removing them using control panel and driver sweeper along with CCleaner and a reboot and download the latest ones and try it out

    yup like faiz said most likely the display driver just crashed. i also i recommend updating the bios to A08 if you haven't done that already.
