Did i fried my gpu?

Hi guys,

From last few days i started noticing weird graphics on my laptop screen, text seems to be broken with jagged or blocky pattern edges (aliasing) even if i zoom a image to single step (via Windows Photo Viewer) it get aliased.

My desktop resolution is = 1366 x 768 (higest)

Color Depth = 32 bit (but, if i switch to 16bit no change in visual difference)

CCC = 11.3

idle GPU core clock = 220 Mhz

idle memory clock = 299.3Mhz

idle GPU Temp = 48 - 54 *C

idle Fan speed = @30

idle GPU Load% = 0 - 2%

idle FAN Speed = 22RPM

DISPIO = 48 *C

MEMIO = 46 *C

idle GPU SHADER CORE temp = -163.0C (i suspect somethin is fishy here)

History of my GPU Usage...

1. Last year i played GTA IV

2. COD MW2

3. POP TFS

4. PES 2010

5. AC 2

6. H.A.W.X II

7. Assassins Creed Brotherhood

Since i played ACB my graphics card is dying... i see strange pixelization, jagged text and images.i can still get 93fps. till now i neither got any BSOD nor got any artifacts.

I am so scared to run any game on my machine

Even if i change color depth from 32bit to 16bit nothing happens no change.....

I am sure its not a driver issue i erased my HDD and checked out on Win XP and Win 7 x64 as well...

Is my GPU fried? Is there any component of GPU failing?

Is it dying? My laptop warranty just expired 2 moths ago...

Is there any way to save it...Please save my laptop its just 16months old cannot spend INR 50K again

Could even be the screen dying. If your monitor has a VGA out or HDMI out port, connect it to an external monitor/TV & check if the same pixelization happens or not.

If it happens, the GPU is the culprit , if not then the screen is.

In any case, you'll have to take it to the service centre. Also post some screenshots here.
