Hey

I also been having the same problem with my Garmin Nuvi 50LM.

I did some researching and found out that this IS a known problem for this model as well as the 30 and 40 LM.

So on the Garmin web site it has an article 7 days ago (Sept 13, 2012) containing how to "try" and fix your Nuvi 30, 40, and 50 LM. The article is under:

Why won't my nuvi 30, 40, or 50 boot past the Garmin splash screen?

http://support.garmin.com/support/searchSupport/case.faces?caseId={4a78cf80-fce4-11e1-e8a7-000000000000}

I will try to do these steps and will update as soon as I get my computer fix -_-.

Good luck to those who will try this and please update! Thanks!
