    So I had this laptop for like 5 years now I started up sc2 last week and it blue screen trying load a game I reboot windows loads everything then screen flicks once ( I'm guessing to read vga) then bottom right says driver error recover blah blah. Then laptop turns black and sometimes reboots.

    I go into safe mode dl new video drivers same issue.

    I Go into safe mode delete the 8800m from the system manager restart.
    It works but cant play games or load anything deals with graphics.

    I Reinstall Windows 7 64 bit clean install.
    Install new drivers same issue.

    SO in end I can serf web and stream without drivers, but once I install drivers and reboot it black screens.

    At first I thought the vga board or something is broken now I am thinking my 8800 gtx is broken any ideas?

    Before I go on ebay buy an 8800m, and try replace
