Hello, and sorry for the delay.

It does look as if this is either a physical graphics card problem, or a driver issue. Start with the easy solution, updating your graphics drivers: Drivers - Download NVIDIA Drivers


If that doesn't help, contact Customer Support and return the computer.

Hi, no problem thanks for getting back to me
i went to update the driver and it just says:

Product Current
Installed Driver Latest Driver
Update GeForce 610M -- Your PC currently has the latest driver installed for your GPU. No driver update is necessary at this time.

So does this mean i return it to the shop i purchased it from (it has a 12 month warranty and its only 2 months old) or do i contact ASUS directly?
What exactly would i say?
Thanks

You could start by taking it back to the shop. If they have any kind of warranty on it, they'll probably handle it faster and then you don't have to deal with shipping. Chances are, they'll just ship it back to Asus for you if you give it to them. It's worth a shot.

Tell them the graphics card appears to be defective.
