I have tried resetting and tried a new memory stick to no avail. I think it is the graphics chip set but not sure. The next step is replacing the mother board (rather than trying to replace the graphic chipset) but would like to know if the
blinking LED on the caps lock key is telling me anything. It blinks 5 times, pauses and blinks 5 times, and repeats this endlessly. Does anyone know what it means or have any other suggestions?
Thanx

Thanks for replying! The screen remains totally blank so i don't think it's possible to reload the BIOS. Thanks for the
link to the error codes. It tells me it's a general board issue - so might not be graphics chip after all. So, I think the best
solution is swapping the motherboard.
