It sounds like you got a lemon my friend. I would call Amazon and return through them and you should have a replacement in a few days. It only took 3 days for them to send mine during the height of the return season in January and February. The second is working like a charm....knock on wood. LOL!!!

True. You may in fact have just gotten a rotten egg. I've had that happen before with my Xbox 360.

I thought of that as well; but I used it as a desk top replacement in an environment where the temperature never dipped below 75 degrees. I believe either the video card blew...or the connections from the LCD to the computer itself became loose in some way. Anyway its academic I sent it back for a replacement and its on its way and will arrive on February 2nd.

So I think I am miss understanding. You are having a Graphics Card Issue. Would you like the Bios from the Graphics card? can you please explain a little more in depth exactly what you are trying to do?

I have egirl..i have a 1005PE-PU and i installed the 667hz 2GB crucial ram...it is easily installed, works fine and is instantly recognized. My only problem is that the windows 7 starter is hanging up upon shutdown...leaves the blue light on the on off switch ON with the fan/harddrive running...i am wondering if the ram change had ANYTHING to do with this...the unit is brand new...have written asus AND microsoft for a hotfix or SOME solution...ring any bell with you?

Yes I also experienced a moment of black screen. It is annoying for this screen keep doing that. Hope there is a fix for it but I haven't tried to find a solution. If anyone have figured out how to fix this let me know

Did you press f2 on restart? Not on initial start but bring it up then do a restart. I know that sounds weird but that is how I got my HE to see the 2GB memory. Hit the f2 key multiple times to get to the BIOS screen. When I installed the 667 mhz memory on my HE the vids were choppy, I replaced it with an 800 mhz and the problem is gone. Maybe I got a bad module, who knows?

Yes, as a matter of fact, I did have the Blue Screen of Death. I called Lenovo several times before I found the sweetest gal from India who went into my system,, did a bunch of fast things, had me take something off (don't remember what it was, something deep in the computer) and never had a problem again. I think they might have trained their people how to fix it. I don't know if it's a Microsoft or Lenovo problem but it is fixable.

I just got off the phone with a tech support guy who walked me with great patience though download and installing new drivers, etc. Noluck. He's sending out shipping info. I inquired about whether it'll be a new machine or a repair, and he indicated that they might just fix a driver problem or replace a bad card. He seemed rather certain they wouldn't be sending a new machine.Thanks for your suggestions about the personal info. I have done a backup and can remove anything personal and restore later.

How can be this Jason be so sure it has a 760 if theres no info about it? Do you work at the store or something? I really want to be sure what graphic card does it has and what os too before i even consider to buy this unit. Finally, if its true that it comes with win 8, is it posible to get it with win 7? (i dont really like win 8) Thanks.

If the Monitor is on, it should show a blue screen however, it there's no signal, it will be blank. I hope this help.

I would try switching to a different Monitor, if that does not do it then reseat the card. Take out the video card and blow out the PCIE slot and put card back in.And after all the above and it still does not work then the video card needs to be sent back for exchange or repair.

Hi Hailey Sampson, I have D630 and it does come with Windows Vista plus some nice software to help backup the computer system. Regarding your graphic card question I'm afraid I can't answer that question-I'm kinda old in age.

I've had no blue screens. Usually there an error code on blue screens. I'd Google the error code to find out what is causing it. If it's the GPU it may need to be returned for a new one

Try this not sure if it will work for you but it did for me. The moment you press the power button and release it and hit the floor button which hopefully will have taken you to the boot menu select the first choice given and enter and it should allow you to login to your desktop. As this happened to me recently. If this does not work. I would suggest taking it in for repair. Also if your desktop is still under warranty I would see if they can help you on HP.

I also, get a blank screen? I was going to send it back, but I wasn't sure if it was something I wasn't doing

Thank you for your reply. I was wondering if there's some problems with my video card hardware, now it seems to be the driver's problem. Luckily other programs works normally. I submitted this problem to ASUS support 1 month ago but get no responce. All we can do is just wait ASUS to update the graphic driver and hope the new driver can fix this problem.

When I got it I was initially having issues with BSODs whenever I would exit out of a game and try to load up another one. I believe that this was caused because of the graphics cards clashing with each other. I have since changed it to make the nvidia my primary processor (if I'm remembering right I did this by going into the Nvidia control panel, clicking the Manage 3D Settings, selecting Global Settings and then making it the prefered processor rather than allowing it to auto-select... however it's been a while so I may be remembering poorly). After I made that change I haven't had it BSoD on me once. When I got it I was initially having issues with BSODs whenever I would exit out of a game and try to load up another one.
