Black Screen At Boot (unless I wrap it in a towel!)

So pretty much thats it, first the battery quit working and now this.

Boot up, no post or anything. HD spinning and DVD Slot spinning.

Now, I read somewhere where a guy put his laptop in an oven and it worked. I decided well it gets bloody hot just running I bet if I wrap it in a towel it'll get a hot.

About fifteen minutes being wrapped in a towel I disconnected the power (no battery), plugged it back it and turned it on. The screen lights up! But during the bios loading bar thing it shuts off. I think because its too hot. It'll keep turning back on with the screen on and eventually wont shut off and gets to windows and everything is just fine!

Questions are.. Whats wrong, and can it be fixed?
and.. I have a beautiful, beautiful screen. Will this screen go into any 15 inch laptop?

 

Why don't you reinstall the previous Nvidia driver (if you updated the graphics card recently)? If you read this, you might have the same issue but with vista.

 

Thank you for the try but this is not driver related, clearly hardware related.

 

first, im guessing u have a xps m1530...which has been known to have GPU issues. if you still have warranty, you can get the motherboard (which contains the graphics card) replaced...

ive never heard of anyone putting their laptop in an oven...(wouldnt the plastic parts melt?) i have heard of people baking their GPUs to get it working, buutt i wouldnt really recommend that as the gpu is connected to the motherboard and that's a pain to take out.

also try connecting a external monitor to the laptop to isolate the issue (ie its not a bad screen or something)

 

This is what happen to my xps 15 l502x fan was spinning and it got hot but nothing was displayin on the screen and it wasnt posting and the monitor wasn't broken. Should i wrap it in a towel?
