Reason why this happens is the chip design is a flip chip type. Here is a link to how to fix the problem but it's just a temp fix. I will try fixing laptop by taking it apart and heating the gpu and once that's done it's up for sale. My old HTC hero is more reliable than these new laptops. I will be going back to desktop as all manufacturers are building laptops with built in gpu just so when they go wrong you have to replace laptop. I would advise everyone to stay away from laptops with built in cpu and gpu as they will go wrong which means either get a new motherboard which are not available or buy a new laptop. Many new laptops come with built in gpu which is a pain because when they go wrong you can't change them so you have to basically replace your laptop. The other issue is you cannot replace the gpu as it is built in. You can open laptop up and heat the gpu which will get it working but how long it will keep working for is like saying how long is a piece of string.

Issue is with the gpu aka graphics card which is on its way out.
