Hi guys
I think my laptop GPU is dying/is dead
I can run just one game on it (checked usage using MSI Afterburner)
For everything else, it just crashes or BSODs(In windows 10 partition, it just says AMDkmdag.sys stopped and recovered but the Intel GPU is working fine whereas in my Windows 7 fresh install partition with new drivers,it just BSODs)
Im surprised Intel Graphics still works despite being a switchable GPU system because generally both work together in tandem
My GPU may have died out when I was playing GTA V and I suffered a freeze with stripes on the screen
I didnt bother much at the time and just force shut it down
5-6 days later, the GPU refuses to run any games except for one and keeps crashing everything including furmark
Any ideas?
I literally cant figure out if my GPU is really dead or dying or what
My questions are-
1. Is it possible that my HDD has corrupt sectors or some other component dying?
2. My charger was no longer recognised and to charge my battery, I had to force push it inside so that it would be recognised and charge otherwise the charger would simply power the laptop and throttle the CPU(Im using Throttlestop to get rid of this issue and everything was fine since 2-3 months until this) and I also bought a new charger but it has the same issues so Im guessing its the power connector
3.Should I attempt reflow of the gpu using a hair dryer or simply use it without the dgpu till I can save up for a new PC/Laptop(can take a long time)
Ill fill up the questionaire once I get some advice on what I asked above
Also Im on an extreme low budget for repairs/purchases so Im more inclined towards keeping the laptop and building a PC next year or something
