My graphi card just quit on me.. Ive checked the status on device manager and it says that the card hasnt started. The card is in a laptop so doing a fast unplug and plug in again isnt an option for me. Does anyone have any idea what this is or could be

Was it on pc that you just formatted? If it was me, I would tear it apart and have a look-see. Has it been running hot at all? Laptops have always had problems keeping cool but it is usually the CPU that suffers but it quite possibly may have damaged your card. If you are on a fresh format and have the new drivers installed and it worked fine for a few days, unless you have done something you have not mentioned, I think it may be a physical problem with your card.
lol You of all people should know if it is a fried card or not! (You did not use Rivatuner on this one did ya?)

You can only change Graphics cards in the new high end laptops with PCI Express cards. The video is built into the motherboard on most. I am pretty good at working on laptops. The motherboards, even used can be kind of pricey. I just changed out a HP ZV5000US motherboard for a client. It was $200 used on ebay. Brand new it would have been $450 off the net.
