Have you turned on the switch?

yes, I have another question. If my device is blocked from using a WiFi with netgear systems, if I change my WiFi Mac address would I be able to fool the system and get connected?

Probably the processor or motherboard is failing.

Can you do a cmos reset?
What it means is that you open up the system look for a lithium ion battery round in size.
Remove it and wait for like 5-10 minutes then replace it back.
Put on the system

FEED ME BACK.

Do a driver roll back

Right click the graphics driver parent and click "roll back driver"

I couldn't remove the battery cos it seems sealed or somthing, but I traced the connector on it and removed it from the socket and waited for like 5-10mins before replacing it. Hope that also counts.
Attached is the pix of the battery

The connector?? The cmos battery can be removed just do it patiently. Not the connector.

Also check around the motherboard area especially the processor put the system on and see what happens to the processor fan.

Feed me back!

Check does it give any error message at boot post

The system could be doing overheating

Try to blow away dusts and clean every parts of the internals (carefully!)

Also reseat the different connectors on the motherboard

Remove the processor heat sink, clean off the underlying dusts (WARNING don't clean off the thermal paste!!!)

Also check the thermal paste between the heat sink and the processor, and see how you can scratch some of the surrounding ones to the center of the contact between the heatsink and the processor.

Try these steps and let me know what happens

Reduce the resolution you are playing it in (by the way, what's your laptop specs?)

For the modem
Uninstall the software completely
(If you have revo uninstaller make use of it to uninstall every trace of it)
Then reinstall it and connect the modem.
It should work

This could be a memory failure (RAM)
It could also be a motherboard failure.
could also be a graphics card failure on the motherboard (Still motherboard failure)

how many ram do you have i mean the number not size?

if it is two ram remove 1 and boot with only the other one observing the results and vice versa.

GIVE ME FEEDBACK...

Thanks for your concern bro. I have tried out that step one several times but its not working. As for the step two, there is no way I can unplug the monitor cause its a laptop. I don't really understand that step two though.

You have to change the motherboard

What he heated was the VGA card on the board. Is it an AMD processor?
