Oh, I misunderstood you. When you said "...unplugging my second monitor and my lap a spark happened...", I assumed you meant your monitor you had connected to your laptop. What a difference leaving one letter out makes.

If you have onboard video ( VGA ports on your motherboard) can you plug your monitor into this and see if it boots correctly.

Otherwise you will need to borrow a GPU from someone if you do not have a spare to test with. I am guessing that it would be the GPU, but it might be more that just that. Test it before you replace it if you can.

i think it may have been,like i was unplugging my second monitor from wall socket,same goes for my lamp,there was a spark between the 2,

The second monitor and lamp still work when i this happened i found out that My Monitor/TV the HDMI Ports dont work ether. but cable and/VGA/RGB are fine
