YAY, no more Simo snipes.
Kidding of course, there was a bad batch of NVIDIA mobile GPUs that went out a while back, wonder if you got one:

Not that it would immediately help your situation, but I wonder if there's a class-action suit against either the laptop manufacturers or NVIDIA.

The defects involved laptops equipped with mobile Nvidia GPUs- specifically the 8600M and 8400M chips. There's suggestion that the earlier GeForce Go 7000 and 6000s are bad too; and questions of stability in their motherboards with the 790i chipsets.
The class-action lawsuit in progress was filed by one of Nvidia's stockholders. I don't know if a consumer class-action is in the works.
I game on a laptop too Simo, (an Asus G1S I bought a year ago) and it's got an 8600m GT- one of the affected chips. But I can still game- but the BSODs happen more often from desktop than a game engine.

Sorry you're having issues, Simo and hope you get it sorted out sooner than you think and can come back to play.
I also cannot play TF2 on my laptop and I've yet to figure out why. I do have other computers, so it doesn't stop me from playing but it irks me I can't figure out what's wrong on the laptop.
Also, I can play other Steam games like CSS and L4D on the laptop but when I load TF2, it lags so bad it's like a slide show. At first, I couldn't even get it to load but it's still unplayable.

Would be priceless if simo was using the touchpad instead of a mouse.
