    Hello, i have an asus C90S for 2 years, since this afternoon, when i try to start it, the fan are powered, dvd player and HD too, the num/caps lock led flash and that's all.
    The screen doesn't lit, windows don't start, no sound.
    Does anyone have the same problem and know how to solve it ?

    I fear that i have a bad 8600m GT, is there a way to verify that ?

    Thank you

    PS : sorry if i made mistakes i don't speak really good english.

    You can contact ASUS and see what your options are, sense it is known to be a bad card all around, they have been giving customers upgrades on there laptops for the price of the repairs. Usually between $200-$250.
