guess I will just trash it then
I once had a G55VW, happened the same, and it was a corrupted BIOS, maybe take it to support to rebuild that. In my case was the GPU that fail too, so have 2 options, buy a new MOBO, or buy a new laptop and, I went for the new laptop, I sell the G55 to a friend and he changed the MOBO and it works very well since then. Hope this can help you
