M1710 Blank Screen?

Question

Ok, this is a weird issue. The other day I saw that my laptop had woken up from sleep on its own (It happens sometimes). I opened the LCD and went to check my email. All of a sudden the screen went blank like the screen saver was going to load. The screen had stayed blank. I shut the computer down and when I turned it back on, the screen stayed blank. It illuminates but nothing shows up on it. I let it boot to see if it would log into windows but it keeps rebooting itself. When it boots, the number lock and bluetooth light come on, then when it would be enough time for it to get into windows, the wifi light comes on and the number lock turns off. At this point, hitting the number lock or caps lock doesnt do anything. I left it on when I went into the shower to see if it was doing something else while booting and when I came back, it was at the windows login screen. I went to log in but then the screen went blank again.

Dell hasnt done much of anything but put me on a waiting list for a video card that there gonna want WAY to much for refurbished. Its ok since my warranty is expired and everything in the computer has been replaced anyway. Im just going to shop a new (used) card out on ebay though. Thats where I got my 7900GS from.
