Andrew55 Posted March 30, 2009 Report Share Posted March 30, 2009 Do you see any unusual lines on your screen? And what are your gpu temps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emedici Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 Use SpeedFan. go to http://www.almico.com/sfdownload.php and download it, it will tell you all the temps you need. Including GPU. Hope it helps! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliveanddead86 Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 yes i am seeing some unusual lines in my screen while windows is loading... Sounds like your card has been fried, and blue lines whilst loading windows is a BAD sign. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sai Posted April 1, 2009 Report Share Posted April 1, 2009 (edited) What a concidience i got the same problem here from the same brand Fujitsu Siemens :S Amilo Xa 2528. So im also running my laptop with standard drivers, since the only drivers to get my laptop work for a bit was those from this site. GPU: 67c core: 71c temp : 67c temp1 51c, barely running anything. :) Already replaced my motherboard a month ago b4 here, i was getting some crazy artifacts but that was from overheating :\ Edited April 1, 2009 by sai Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Squall_Rinoa89 Posted April 5, 2009 Report Share Posted April 5, 2009 The 8600 GS has had alot of problems at release. Your having the same problems i had with my HP Pavillion DV9535nr. All you will be doing is replacing the motherboard every month or so now. At least thats how it was for me. Every time id get it back, it'd be good for a day, i'd load everything again and WHAM back to the same problem. Hope you can get it fixed, only way i got it fixed was through Bestbuy's no lemon policy. They had to give me a whole new computer for the price i paid for my HP.

Latin Crazy Posted April 24, 2009 Report Share Posted April 24, 2009 (edited) I have a hp pavilion dv 9700 Laptop proccesor: intel® core 2 Duo CPU T5550 @ 1.83GHz 1.83GHz Memory (RAM) : 4 GB Sistem type: 64-bit Operating System Graphics Card : Nvidia Geforce 8600m GS One night using my laptop turns off, turn it on again to a blue screen came out saying windows is having problems turning it on again small dots of color appeared on the screen, watching the rest is running fine. looking in device manager to check, the graphics card stopped working I tried downloading new drivers, I uninstall and install restart my laptop completely, but I have the same problem. Can anybody help me what the problem is my graphics card or my motherboard. I wonder if my graphics card is the problem because I want to buy better and I would like to know if geforce 8800m is compatible with my laptop Edited April 25, 2009 by Latin Crazy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest mixalis Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Hi, yesterday while I was playing an online game, suddenly my screen went off and had lines all over it. I could see nothing and the sound stuck. would it be the graphics card because when I start my pc now, the hdd light is not on at all and I between changing the hdd or the graphics card. I connected an external screen but nothing on it again. the thing is that maybe it doesn't get into windows so that's why I am so confused. Any help???
