[HELP] Sager NP5793 unable to boot, long beeping sound.

So I was playing games (CPU intensive) and then all of sudden, I got the bluescreen stating physical dump and something something, after it reached 100% the system reboot itself only to find out it stuck forever on the bios screen.

I tried to force shutdown the laptop and restart it, and this long beeping sound with black screen occured! Afraid of the situation, I then shutdown it again and let the system cool down (the harddisk part is very hot) and reboot it agajn, I then notice that the usual harddisk led isn't on, and everytime I tried to boot it, the system won't load anything but black screen..

Does anyone here can help out with the problem? Thanks!

 

sounds like its overheated and shut down to protect the rest of the components.
when was the last time you cleaned your fans out and do you monitor your temperatures?

if you do get it running again download Who Crashed and HW Monitor from my signature below.

also could you post your full spec of cpu/gpu/ram/hard drive

 

Does it at least boot into BIOS?

 

Your hdd should not get hot. There is almost certainly an issue with it if it is. Try booting from a bootable usb stick or dvd. Other than that, if you can get into the bios, check if can still see the hdd.

 

Thanks for the swift reply, there are couple of things after I tried booting it up again

1. The fans didnt kick in like usual
2. The hdd led icon didnt show up (only power and battery)
3. It gave me only black screen and im afraid i overdid on my last gaming session (cpu peaked the whole time)
4. My Sager NP5793 specs are
CPU: T9300 Penryn (no overclocking)
GPU: NVIDIA 8800GTX 512 MB
HDD: Hybrid Seagate Momentus XT
Mem: Apacer 4GB
5. It didnt even boot to the bios screen

What should I do now? Thanks.

 

How did you know it was specifically the HDD that was hot? Did you open it up? I doubt a game could be that hard on an HDD, or that it would fail catastrophically without any prior warning. Can you open it up, remove the HDD and see if it gets to POST with just the optical in?

 

Hello Varadero,

yes, I think its not the hdd.. I take off the hdd and memory as well, still unable to get to the POST. Do you have any recomendation for me? I suspect that either the mobo or the vga but couldn't tell

 

8800GTX is probably the one that failed.

Take it out and see what the system does without it.

If it is dead, baking it might bring it back to life (lots of info on this is out there).

Worked for my 8800m GTX, for about 5 mins lol. Though I didn't bake it well.

 

lol can you give me recommendation on how to bake the card? How do you tell if the card is the culprit?

specifically, what should I expect to see if I take off the vga?

 

this is what got when my 9800GT died.
was playing crysis 2 on release day and after 20 minutes it just froze had to hard boot and this is what i was left with.

my hard drive used to average 48-51c all the time unless i was defragging or running a virus scan and then the highest it got was 61c so hard drives to get hot sometimes.



heres the links to the baking method

Yeah, my 8800M GTX died about a year ago in a similar manner, something Nvidia built in for a large part of us by design. Baking works for a short time, otherwise you need to hunt for an MXM 2.1 card, and not one that's come off an acer. The best you can hope for would be a 280M GTX.

 

Exactly how short is the lifespan of a baked vga? I dont think the 280gtx suits my mobo.. As far as i know, mine was in penryn generation which draws back in the 2008.. (its been 4 years now) and i really doubt there would be a replacement for my 8800gtx (it costs a fortune to buy the single card lol which can be use to buy a generic laptop that could lasts for a year)

Also what are my option (looking at current generation vga) that is compatible with the sager np5793?
