Hello! I've been having some issues with my laptop lately. When I turn it on it shows the asus logo, followed by this pattern: http://www104.zippyshare.com/v/uvFITgOO/file.html. Then, I get the windows starting logo and I get this one: http://www21.zippyshare.com/v/zu0TemFl/file.html. Finnally I get this one: http://www53.zippyshare.com/v/rUmjsjN2/file.html and I have to restart, or it restarts by itself, I have no idea what is going on. I tried to unplug everything and turn everything on again but it does not work. By the way this has happened to me before around 5 months ago, I took the laptop to a computer shop and when I turn it on to show it to the tech it was fine! Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

There's a chance that the onboard graphics chip is dying. Has the laptop has been overheating as a result of running graphically demanding games?

Perhaps, but the games I've been playing recently are kinda soft for this laptop, so I don't think it is a recent thing. But yeah I agree, its probably a graphic board problem. Im gonna take it to the store and see what can be done, thanks.
