Th5Mupp5t 13 Posted January 9, 2013 Share Posted January 9, 2013 Hi all, sorry i haven't been active at all. I've been busy with stuff plus just living life really. Anyways My Dell D630 has just randomly started to freeze, my theory is that the GPU/CPU/MoBo has over heated and is now on its last legs and still trying to fight till the end, semptoms that show are the screen flickers a lot and then its like windows completely crashes and nothing moves and/or the sound is completely destorted (if something was playing..) Specs are: Intel Core 2 Duo 2.20GHz (i think)4GB RAM80GB HDDnVidia Quadro NVS 135M 128MBBrand new battery, 9-cell. Anythink that i could do to maybe fix it? or just bit the bullet and let it go? haha Thanks for any replys, Reece Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Th5Mupp5t 13 Posted January 10, 2013 Author Share Posted January 10, 2013 (edited) Right I've opened it up and the GPU is integrated to the motherboard so its pretty much a dead end there. Not sure what else i can do, any ideas? thanks,Reece EDIT: Should I invest in new thermal paste? EDIT 2: Here's a picture on what happens after I have restarted the laptop: Edited January 10, 2013 by snakecracker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ccl0 23 Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 (edited) hm. Quadro NVS 135M is based on the 8400 series. i seem to recall there was a lawsuit way back regarding nvidia selling faulty gpu chips. http://hothardware.com/cs/forums/p/51200/382885.aspx not sure if yours is covered but your laptop was built around the same time. it could be you just lucked out and the defect didnt show itself until now.
