I have an Asus G1 laptop and I was just on it when the screen froze and an error message appeared saying the display adapters were not working and then the screen went distorted and froze so i reset it and now it is blank. It looks like the screen is on but theres nothing on it. When i plugged it into an external monitor it came to windows suffered an error screen but very distorted and says to either start it normally or repair it which just goes back to the same screen. When i go start it normally it goes for a like 30 seconds and then restarts again. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Sounds like its trying to boot from the Optical drive (cd/dvd drive) thats empty or has no disc in it. You will need to get into the BIOS and change the boot sequence. Select HDDR 1st to boot from your C: drive where your OS is.

If your computer came with a motherboard disc the drivers could be on it

Click start control panel administrive tools computer management device manager scroll to display adapters + to expand you might see a yellow question exclamation mark ? mark ! or a red x right click select reinstall drivers
Want to make sure your drivers are in place and no errors have occurred? Simply click start right click on my computer select properties then select device manager scroll to Display Adapters and click on the small "+" you should see the model of your PCI Express graphic card there. If there is a problem with it, a yellow exclamation mark should appear besides it. If you don't see it everything is OK and your card is working properly.

2000-0142 and 2000-0146 are hard drive SMART errors, indicating the HDD will fail.
To boot message about the AC adapter was a BIOS level message that normally appears when a Auto/air ac adapter or other 65 watt ac adapter is used to power the system.

just get a universal adapter for it but make sure in the package it says it is compatible with your lap top it is well worth it usually run about 85 bucks

good day.
with that problem may be your unit cannot shut down properly so as early as possible you must done with a proper shut downing of your unit.
so if that message will appear select on the "Last Known Good Configuration" and press enter, if this message will appear again you need to format your windows.
thanks...

hometokota I am having the same problem and I have tried restoring vista and everything to no avail. Did you find any solutions to the problem?

wrong connection

hello..this is the 1st you need to try..if you have a CRT monitor or LCD Screen try to put the signal Video on the Laptop located at the Back of unit then try to boot your unit...Thanks...

If parts (motherboard) were replaced under warranty, there still could be other issues related to the first issue. For example, it could be a loose cable from the new motherboard to your screen or other issues.

For example, in Control Panel, try turning off any screen savers or power management or saving features.

Have you ran a Dell diagnostic and if so, what does it say?
Here's how:

1. Restart the computer.
2. As the computer boots, press < F12 > when the Dell Splash Screen appears
3. When the Boot menu appears, highlight the Boot to Utility Partition option, or the Diagnostics option and then press < Enter > to start the 32-bit Dell Diagnostics.

If you don't get any errors when you startup on battery then all you have to do is call Dell. Get work order number and send them the laptop and adapter. They are very fast. I sent a laptop to them last month and I had it back in 3 days! I was surprised.
