m5700 graphics problem

Alright, I just bought this laptop today with what was presumed to be a blown screen. I got it home and hooked it up to a monitor, and it appears that whenever you connect it the laptop shuts off.

I tried starting it while the monitor is plugged in as well as plugging in the monitor while it is running, no dice. The little cd player function still works, I get audio and everything, and all the fans are firing up except for the video card fan. When I took the heat sink off there aren't any burn marks on the chip itself.

Any ideas?


*EDIT* It is a m7700, not 5700

There is no way for me to update the drivers, because there is no way for me to view ANYTHING on the screen or an external screen.

I think last resort would be to erase the partition on your hardrive and install windows again. With a clean install the OS. That way if you def don;t see anything its the gpu thats fried.
