First off, GPUz says 65C, which i believe is ok for a GPU. And it's never that warm, so temp is nott the problem.
But the bloody thing is fucking my display. When i try to play any kind of game, it fucks up and i have to reboot. Even when i am not doing anything graphically intensive - like normal browsing on the web - it will a few times spaz out on me.
I mean, I can't keep rebooting like this. What hsould i do?
PS: i have the latest drivers, according to Vista 64, which is what i have.
PSS: any help is appreciated.

your card died, buy a new one

type *.rar

the "M" is a laptop chipset, he'll need to mail the machine back to the manufacturer

i'm somewhat confident this is more a software/driver issue, than a hardware issue.
in any case, i've already tried reverting to an older driver.
lemme ask this: if i uninstall the driver, i can still re-download from nvidia anytime i wish right? in other words, is there any danger to uninstalling? [obviously, some GPU-intensive stuff like games will be out of commission, but nothing permanent, of course?]
thanks for help, btw.

anything from blinking in part of, or the entire screen [most common occurence] to not displaying the entire window when i maximize it, or even worse, LCD 'static' [like in a TV channel]
and accessing any game will BSOD me.
not to mention, Vista diagnosed it as the Nvida GPU problem, so it's obviously either a driver issue or hardware malfunction issue.
But i should also mention: the first day I got my laptop, I played TF2 on max settings, and it was OK at that time.
-
it's a hardware malfunction. the "static" effect is completely indicative of a damaged gpu. send the laptop back to the manufacturer.

:'( thanks prole
NVIDIIIAAAAAAAAAAAA

one more question: there's no permananet harm in uninstalling a driver, right? like, I can always re-install from Nvidia's website if i want to, right?
-
yes.
