Coltrasten Posted October 29, 2014 Author Share Posted October 29, 2014 Because of that barely instant shutdown, I dont think it has anything to do with heat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coltrasten Posted November 24, 2014 Author Share Posted November 24, 2014 Sadly this wasn't a permanent fix. Still having shutdowns even with the GPU down to 400MHz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coltrasten Posted February 3, 2015 Author Share Posted February 3, 2015 You wanna know the recipe for success? Don't wait any further, click below 2 years of various trouble shooting A cup of anger and despair 3 pounds of thermal pate One broken ffc-cable ... Lets cut to the chase, none of this worked. So as a last resort I put both the motherboard and graphic card in the oven. 8.5 minutes 200 celcius And now the laptop works flawlessly. I can finally play at original speeds WITHOUT any shutdowns. The thing that caused these problems were probably some solder joints that got overheated. And most likely made them prone to loose connection. Now we play the waiting game, to see how long this fix will continue to work. Disclaimer: This worked for me, and this post is purely to be used as information.

stopgogo Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 what about the cpu temps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coltrasten Posted April 8, 2016 Author Share Posted April 8, 2016 I did some research on this kind of problem, and found some new info. It seems to be a problem with the graphic-chip. If you heat it up in the oven like I did it will restore some functionality, but only temporarily. So for a permanent fix I have to replace the graphic card or the chip. Here's a clip of Louis Rossmann explaining more in depth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coltrasten Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 The problem is now fixed. I bought a 660m from a G75VX-model and had to buy the heat sink that fitted G75VW. Both from ebay with a total cost (shipping included) of 1000 sek. That might be a lot for such an old card, but now I have a computer that finally work.
