    I'm having some weird problems. I couldn't update my drivers first. My screen just went black and nothing happens. When I finally updated my drivers I was getting instant reboots and blue screens. Rolled back to the older drivers - same thing happened. Even the standard sager drivers didn't work. So I typed in format c: and went for it. Reinstalled windows and same thing happens. Now only the sager driver works and any other driver doesn't. I get blue screen and instant reboot. Also my computer takes ages now to start up. It takes good 15-20mins of absolute nothing and then windows starts. What can be the problem? even complete format didn't help? can it be a hardware issue?
    thx in advance,
    rotor

    Looks like broken hardware (GPU or motherboard). It's very hard to diagnose a laptop.
