    Hi,
    Know its about a year after your thread but I have the same problem and I just wonder if you have identified the beep codes.
    I would be extremely grateful.
    Thanks

    Its a motherboard problem, something has fried. The gpu in particular

    Ive had this problem in the past, the only way to fix it was to send it in for warranty repairs

    If your out of warranty, please check the recall page if your notebook is in there. You will still get repairs even if your original warranty is expired
