So, starting yesterday my laptop decided to go on strike/got sick/was lazy (it's hard to read emotion over computers... =/) by not starting up and instead displaying A GRAY SCREEN OF DOOOOOOOM!

Anyway, thanks to some searching the intermawebs, I managed to try running safe mode time and time again until finally an image (not a gray image mind you) popped up saying "Your Computer is being an cool dude. Please hold." and after around an hour or so of diagnostics, it's back up and running!

... For now at least... I've never come across this issue before, but apparently the issue was with one of the drivers. I also found advice to keep things clean (I did get a cooler for it a while ago, so I wouldn't find it strange to have accumulated some dust. I'll be keeping it clean for a while, so hopefully it'll remain working).

Here is a very accurate recreation script of what transpired during the events of the Gray Screen Fiasco:

Computer: LOL, ALL UR COMPUTER R BELONG TO GRAY SCREEN!

Tekulo: ... Eh? Curse this new-fangled do-thingie... Wait, this isn't my lawn! CURSE YOU, BILLY!

GET OFF MY LAWN!
