As my title says I believe my HD is failing and my screen is definitely gone. I've been using a temporary monitor attached to my ASUS G50vt-x5 gaming laptop. With 4GB Ram, 320GB HD, and 2.0Ghz Duo Core CPU and Windows Vista OS. I bought this back in 2009. It's been running strong for the past few years but then suddenly my screen went blank which I understand how to fix/ repair. However I also started OC'ing my computer and it began BSOD every time I'd start it or every other time. and a friend told me this could be caused by the HD since it has said it's dumping memory. Is there a way to remedy this? Should I purchase a new HD and will that work? Please help.
Screen out and HD failing!!!

It sounds as if someone slammed your monitor closed or dropped the laptop on the top side. Replacing the HD is always a good idea if your old one is failing.
The BSOD could be caused by an unstable OC or whatever damaged the HD and display. Try setting it to the original settings.

I would recommend getting a new HD as yours could quit at any time if its errors are a result of a monitor being slammed closed. The blue screens could still be a result of damaged hardware in the laptop or from the OC. You could try setting it back to default as well to see if it helps

The hard drive failing might not necessarily cause BSOD. It could just one day stop letting you boot windows and give errors, or tell you to provide a bootable disk. It can cause BSOD tho along with the other reasons I mentioned.
If it is failing the best thing to do is to save the data ASAP or whoever the data belongs to will be very mad at whoever slammed the laptop closed =)
Do you have the specific error code? They do have different codes, but one thing can sometimes cause multiple BSOD codes.
It should say something like Stop Error 0xDEADDEAD
If the computer was damaged and you did not have BSOD prior to OCing the computer, and you only started BSOD after OCing the computer; I would change the settings back to default to see if it corrects the problem.
