In the last few days researching the problem I consistently found that the the heatsink does not actually contact the gpu. There is a class action lawsuit against HP for this problem, however I got my lappy new off ebay so i’m kinda out of the money pool. So as the gpu heats up the solder gives and gpu backs up out of the socket just a bit since there is room between the heatsink and gpu. Most say they can heat it back up to 120 and press it back in place as well as adding a tiny shim between the gpu and heatsink so it will not back up again.
Thats all fine and dandy, but I havn’t had the “black out” problem in a week now so I think i’m just above the its about to *edited*ing blow up point. However, If it does black out nothing lost in giving this a try. What I need to fix now is the issue this the vertical lines. This issue with right clicking on desktop (this comes and goes), and i need to find a way to monitor what my gpu temps actually are?
Is there a way to find out if its currently using the onboard gpu or the invidia gpu (which is also onboard, fail.)? Not sure why else steam games are crashing before/during launch.
I have not been able to find a reason for the vertical lines, but it appears to be a kinked ribbon or a ribbon coming out from its socket. If i beat *edited* hard enough it will go away. The beating probably helped the gpu seat itself temporarily.
If it cant be fixed with a hammer its not broke
