    I didn't had it from new .It was working for a couple of months till 2 weeks ago when it started to be temperamental with turning on..sometimes yes,sometimes no...on the back on the plastic I didn't feel that is overheating .Last week the screen was freezing and i've turned it off and when I tried to turn it on again...the light on the power button was on,i was able to hear the fan...but no image ...after 5 minutes the fan was going much faster then normal. ..sometimes but very rarely the laptop turns on and boot up into windows but If I am restarting I have the same issue with blank screen.
    I tried everything. ..switching the memories,taking out the hard drive...problem is the same. ..blank screen. ..sometimes the fan runs normally.,sometimes very fast .
    Can someone tell me how can i fix this problem please? Thanks a lot

    Install a hardware monitoring utility and keep an eye on the temperatures. Notice anything abnormal? Note the temperatures at idle, light and heavy usage levels.

    When the fan runs full speed, can you feel the air blast coming from the vents? You should be able to feel it from 4 inches away. Is the air hot ot cold?
