Is there a problem with my graphics card?

[fanofnada]

Hello all,
Last week I was playing Guild Wars 2 on my Asus notebook G73Jh, however I was using my external monitor. Then my laptop pretty much just overheated and it turned off. I turned it back on, and it was all normal, and from then on I just decided to play gw2 on my laptop screen.

Earlier this week, I accidentally forgot to turn off my external display, causing gw2 to default open on that screen, (i totally did not realise that i wasn't playing on the laptop) then once again like before it crash my laptop. BUT this time, the display was stuck on generic pnp, and my external display was stuck on mirrored, and there was no settings to change it. Technically, it wasn't even picking it up on display options. So now I have a laptop which displays really bad resolution and I can't play any games on it ;(.

It just passed my mind, but could I have possibly fried the graphics card?

If there is any additional information you'd like me to include just let me know I'd be happy to share so I can continue [strike]playing games[/strike], expressing myself!

Cheers,
John,

With the external monitor connected but powered off, turn on your laptop and then shut it down.

Now disconnect the external monitor and boot up the laptop, set display options to the laptop's native resolution.

sorry it doesnt work out. ive already set it to 1080 x1024 but it just isnt the same. i think the driver for my asus display just got uninstalled somehow :/

Try a system restore?
