    My 8130, which had in the past at times had screen go green patches and colored lines prior to shut off, has had no problems in the last few months.

    Now, the 2 top left keyboard lights blink blue, accompanied by a piercingly loud beep, and the laptop will shut down within a minute.

    Not sure why, havent been using it for anything but work recently and no other lroblems

    Looks like it could be the graphics card on that one.

    Anything you think I could test myself? Or will I need to send it in to manufacturer?

    No need for more test. Just send back to the manufacture for service.

    You could try reseating the video card. Remove the heatsink then GPU. Clean off the present thermal compound, apply new and then put it back together. Thats about all you can try before sending it in.
