i think my video card is crapping out... (GEFORCE GTX460M CUDA 1.5)
I can watch youtube and surf the web just fine for hours, i can even play such games as GTA San Andreas, N64 emulator, or online web browser games....
but if i try to play GTA 4 or any thing better, or plug in an HDMI cord, or a VGA cord, or watch HULU, it goes to a black screen and shuts off, usually making a repeditive noise from the speakers.
it even does it on fluidmark tests and whatnot...
so far i'v tried...
-driversweep and reinstall (by the sticky in the forum)
-Throttlestop
-Taking the laptop almost completely apart, cleaning it out and putting it back together
-and leaving it in the freezer for a while (actually somewhat helpful)
so in summary... do i need a new card and can i upgrade
🙂Thanks for reading
