Thread: Asus G50vt-x1 GPU issues.
hey guys. i'm having issue gpu in asus g50vt laptop. i'm pretty sure it's on it's way out, wanted check guys sure.
started having issues random artifacts showing up. bad enough need force shut down. had noticed temps little on high side (50c cpu , 60ish gpu @ idle). once opened laptop noticed pretty clogged up. cleaned out, , used as5 thermal paste on cpu. got put together, , temps better (40c cpu , 47c gpu type this). artifacts still issue.
heck of went screensavers , selected 1 of gl screensavers. select one, artifacts hit hard. after 5-7 seconds screen comes , i'm able close out of screensavers window. tried run nexuiz. game loads artifacts , has hard lock , have force shutdown.
did run memtest 10 hours straight, , didn't have errors. being issue have when i'm doing graphics related, feel pretty confident it's gpu. i've read other people saying they've had gpu's hit 80-90c particular laptop. i've never seen above 74c. anyway, if guys have other suggestions i'm ears! can pick gpu on ebay $170...which don't have spend...
thanks,

i've been playing around laptop bit more. removed nvidia driver together, , since doing i'm not getting artifacts, , i'm able use gl screensavers without issue. driver issue?
