I have tried this solution but it doesn't seem to work. As soon as I turn on the computer, it shows black screen on the monitor and makes funny noise constantly. I am almost sure that it's not the driver or the power supply. I'm wondring if it's hard problem. While I was playing starcraft game, it just shut off and never got back on again. What's the cause for this any idea? note:This happened on a regular basis, randomely most of the time when playing the starcraft game. But it use to restart by itself and loaded up to the desktop but this time, it never got back up again. The system is just gone.
