You CANNOT remove the video card unless the motherboard has a built in graphics chip, which I don't think it does. Without video card drivers installed you are limited as far as screen resolution. I don't think there is going to be a...

You cannot remove the video card, if you do, the laptop will not display anything on the screen and I don't know if it would even boot. If the video card is truely fried then reloading drivers or removing them all together will not...

Sounds like your gpu is fried to me. Especially since your seeing green lines on an external monitor as well. If it was the motherboard, I don't think the laptop would boot even in safe mode.

I have a suggestion. It's not really an internal mod. Using a laptop cooler. I know there is a lot of debate as to their effectiveness. I personally see about a 3-5 degrees reduction in my temps. Cleaning my system was by far the...

I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple of threads on this before. As I recall Dell is working on something like this already. Right now though it isn't possible because your computer needs the software developed by dell and the game your...

Just so you know, your card has built in fail safes to keep from accidently damaging the card. By overclocking the card your temps will go up. But, the card has throttle temps and if your temps exceed them the card will automatically...

You mentioned that the main defference between to video card bios was the voltage. Since you are unable to overclock as high when you use the new bios I'm assuming that the voltage is not as high as it was before. If that is true then...
