    I was trying to flash vbios again. I did not flash it but my computer froze so I shut it down. Now I get fans ext but screen is turned of and no beeps or sounds. It boots up how it normally would light ext but no post just black screen fans and lights.

    I tried hooking it up to my tv via hdmi but no signal. If I have to RNA I want another laptop as I've had nothing but troubles with this one.

    pretty sure flashing your vbios voids your warranty.

    to me it sounds like you either bricked the graphics card or burned it out. unlikely its burned out, since if it is, the computer wouldnt even boot

    You can try and RMA it if it's still under warranty. If not, you'll just have to buy a new laptop or replace the GPU. Sounds to me you bricked your GPU.

    I took out the gpu. All I got was fans and beeps. Didn't work. Doesn't make sense if I bricked the card if I did I'd hear fans on full blast....any other suggestions

    this is only a guess but it sounds like you could have bricked your cpu motherboard then if its not the gpu.

    when you said you was trying to flash and then the next post you said you didnt flash so what did you actually do then.
    how far did you get ect. explain exactly then members might have a better idea of what you done.

    what other problems have you had with it.

    edit: you didnt mention you also overclocked http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/692991-my-temps-thrught-roof-i-need-help-big-time-3.html

    as i said the more info you give the better.

    Definitely the best choice at this time. Let us know what the diagnosis comes back as so we have some reference for future problems.

    Good luck with it. Luckily I've heard good stuff about Sager RMA and their quick turnaround.

    lol after all the flashing/overclocking you've done you're lucky to get it fixed under warranty. g/l
