A feew weeks ago I decided to spent my one year old Precision M70 the GeForce7800GTX mod to be ready for the upcomming games
. Ordered a card, swapped it following the instructions from laptoplogic.org, appled AS5 and a thin copper shim. At first everything seemed normal. Every now and then I saw random coloured pixels in the BIOS-Screen of my Laptop, but after booting into windows the screen went normal, so I never gave it a thought. Games ran normal, the GPU was stable at 80°C with 280MHz and 900MHz RAM clock (not fast, but enough for me).
Yesterday we had an intense gaming-session. The Laptop began to produce grapical errors: Polygons were not where they were supposed to be, pixels flickered, random lines crossed the screen and so on. Checked the temperature - everything fine: 80°C@GPU, 60°C@CPU. After rebooting they were there again: Those random colored pixels in the bootscreen. But this time there were much more, and it became more and more every second. Windows crashed right after the bootscreen, causing a reset of the machine. After an hour or so I managed to get into windows and run ATI-Tool. The result was obvious: Countless errors after a few seconds, even with lowest clock rates.... R.I.P
Is my card really fried or did I oversee something important? What do you guys think? Any chance to revive my GF7800GTX?
