Guest 4920G Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I have managed to install hd 3650 in my acer aspire 4920g. It was running perfectly until 5/1/09 when suddenly the laptop crashed. When i tried to reboot, the laptop will show some sign of life and then turned off again. I installed the old card and it started up normally. Can anyone suggest solutions other than trying to get a refund/replacement or be a proud owner of a new paperweight? Thnx in advance :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galdere Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 You need to be more specific than "showed some sign of life" and give us a clue about it's behaviour beforehand. How long had you had it running for? etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 4920g Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I mean the light on the power supply goes on and the sound of the driver can be heard but nothing on the screen appeared. After a few seconds it start up again and after that it completely dies off. I had it on for about 7 hours since im downloading some files.

Morris Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I think it overheated, HD3650 is a pretty hot card, can you even see anything on the screen when you boot up the laptop? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reiluke Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 its probably dead, check for burn marks, if you cant find any, then email the seller that the card did not work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 4920g Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 I have already told the seller but since I have used it more than 7 days, he could not accept it anymore. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reiluke Posted January 6, 2009 Report Share Posted January 6, 2009 if you can hear the laptop booting , windows sound loading then its not all defective, but if your laptop keeps restarting the its probably dead try booting without the gpu and compare if its the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyuKageX Posted January 7, 2009 Report Share Posted January 7, 2009 I guess the card is dead then since u can use the old card without fail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
