Niece is having probs with her laptop, she has an Advent , not sure the model No.
Her screen when she turned the laptop on is blue, i remember my desktop went like this and i needed a new heatsink and fan, could this be her problem, she has nothing of importance on the laptop so should she try a reinstall and format it .
all info welcome.

Do you know which graphics card she has?
The reason I ask is that there is a known fault with Nvidia 84XXX and 86XXX cards overheating and failing.
