    I have recently bought a Asus G73JW and today it suddenly gave me BSODs and now the computer won't even boot into bios. I can hear the fans running but the screen is pitch dark... I've also tried to install the newest Nvidia driver and this problem occurred after I tried to do that but with no success. It gave me an error saying something like the hardware is not compatible or something... Can someone please help me?? Thanks a lot guys!

    Can someone please help me out here??

    Not a whole lot you can do yourself if you can't even get through the POST.

    You never even see the Asus logo?

    You could try removing the battery and unplugging the A/C and waiting several minutes. Then try booting on just A/C.

    Not all nVidia notebook driver packages work on the JW. You should use the ones supplied by Asus, or get modded .inf for the driver releases. If you have no idea what I am referring to, then just use the ones on Asus' site, or the packages I link to in my Driver Reference.
