    hello,
    Today as I was playing COD 4 the screen stopped so then I shut it down and tried to start the machine again like every usual time but it won't boot right now. I can just hear cd working, hdd working and then nothing : screen remains black and the laptop is not working - I mean it's not the GPU failure because then I would get logged on to the windows (log on sound).
    Now in my fl90 I have ati 3650 replaced like month ago and ever since it was working without any problems (in games or not).

    What do you think ? Is it the MoBo ? What could possibly broke down ?

    Just wanted to pipe in... I think the IFL90 was a lemon of a series. I had the same exact problem happen to me a few years ago, and determined it was probably the mobo. I tried everything from blind flashing to shorting the CMOS clock and as you see below, I ended up with an Asus a month later.
