    From beginning, it had a mess display (Attached below 1st picture)and crashed with blue screen. It seems like "nvlddkmm.sys error". If it restart in safe mode, it can work well for hours. 429.jpg

    But now, a worse situation is the screen divided 6 parts. The notebook totally can not be used. Please see the foloowing pictures.

    I think it also caused by the Nvidia display chip G8400M GS.

    But my notebook is out of warrenty.How can I do? Please help me.

    Send the board for reflow. It's about $30 and it should last about an year afterwards.
