    Hi all,
    I bought a g73jh-a1 in canada 4 months ago and am really happy with it. it ran everything i threw at it perfectly. however, currently i am on a business trip and have some major issues going on with my screen without even running anything that is CPU/GPU intensive.
    I got the PSOD once when i changed the output from external monitor to LCD and since then i can see the screen buzzing. if i try to manipulate the screen resolution in any way it shows vertical lines before showing the correct resolution.
    Can you guys suggest something as a temporary measure before i lose total output. I dont have a HD to take a backup and have huge chunks of important data.
    THanks for the help.

    Pink or Purple?

    Have you changed your drivers or are you using stock?

    thanks for the advice sean.
    do you know if ppl who get PSOD can still use external display or not? I want a temporary solution for next 10 days or so before I get back and send out the RMA.

    Thanks
