It is an old laptop put the person who bought it still remembers paying over $3k US dollars for it. Thanks for the help when I get the time I'll try everything suggested. As of now it is still resetting after 22 beeps.

I guess this is the end for this laptop. Shame for how much was spent on it that it's not fixable

I've updated the bios and it still beeps and shuts down. Still boots into windows fine so I'm assuming it was a success.

The laptop seems to run for a minute or so but after awhile it starts beeping and shuts down

Ok well this laptop shipped with this video card and had been working fine since 2012 are you saying the video card is bad?

Is so why would it not boot when I remove it and run off the on board gpu?

Do you have a link to the correct bios?

Specs:

Sager branded Clevo P170EM 

16gb ddr 3

AMD 7970M

i7-3820QM

BIOS 1.00.04bLS2

 

 

I'm working on this laptop for a friend and it will NOT stay on more than a couple minutes before it shuts down.  I have tried everything that i can think of and it still shuts down.  Im thinking it some kind of thermal or video card problem but I cant quite narrow it down.  

 

here are the things i have tied:

 

cleaned/re greased both fans.

cleaned all heat sinks fins

lapped and reapplied thermal paste

reapplied thermal tape to the GPU

replaced CMOS battery

reset CMOS

removed/reinstalled all drivers for iGPU an the 7970

tested all ram in a seperate latop top individually

swapped fans to test headers

 

After all of this it still will beep about 20-22 times and shut down it is in no way getting hot the fans still spin but the computer still shuts down.

What else can i try ? I can't be the only one who has this problem. I've added a file that show the bios version.

 

 

 

Im trying to fix a P170EM right now how do i download the service manual?
