neklec Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 I had problems with one of two mine 7970m .When I try to start games and to watch movies, I see only the gray screen, even when I start HWINFO also gray screen!The laptop is completely frozen and no buttons react, it is necessary to do rigid switching off. Artifacts aren't present. Temperature was about 76 degrees. I tried reinstallation of drivers, didn't help. Whether it is possible to restore operability of the card in any way? Any help is welcomed!P.S.When the laptop works only from the battery (PSU is disconnected from the socket), I can watch movies and start game, but the clocks of 450 Mgz only will be natural.

Founder StamatisX Posted April 9, 2013 Founder Share Posted April 9, 2013 1.5V or 1.05V? Do you have the M17x-R2 (I guess so cause you have two)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder StamatisX Posted April 9, 2013 Founder Share Posted April 9, 2013 Did you try to disable Crossfire and check? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neklec Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 I simply installed the bad card in the main slot one, and the second pulled out. The second card works perfectly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder StamatisX Posted April 9, 2013 Founder Share Posted April 9, 2013 Then it's safe to assume that your primary card is fried... sorry... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Founder StamatisX Posted April 10, 2013 Founder Share Posted April 10, 2013 Yeah I guess you could give it a shot... but even if it works, don't expect it to last for long... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueNasser Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Happened to me last week. One card failed on me, it did the same thing it did to you. It can run at low performance such as on battery but it cant run for more than 10 sec on high performance. It just freeze the computer. I had to hard reset.I recommend you to use your warranty and change the gpuSent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
