My IT friend told me to run diagnostics to which i found out that my Video memory test failed. I assumed it was the graphics card and tried downgrading the drivers but it still did the same thing. He then suggested that I had fried my motherboard. I am at a loss as to what to do. I have tried reformatting the computer but now it just gets to the last step and blue screens again, and when it tried to go through the process it says "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encounters and unexpected error. Windows install cannot proceed. Restart to install." This comes up every time I try to finish it. I hope someone is able to give me an idea of what I can look for or even try, to get this laptop working, it is only 2 years old and a great gaming computer, with a long life ahead of it. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
