Artifacts GT 720

Hey guys,

I'm a very low budget PC user from India 

I have a Lenovo IdeaPad S410p laptop

With

I3 4010u

Nvidia GT 720m

4Gb ddr3

I do everything in it including gaming

 

Recently I had some trouble with the power switch so I send it to a local repair shop to fix it . They said everything is working fine and I too verified that , since the laptop already had thermal issues I planed to do a GPU stress test, it went fine for a few minutes then I started seeing artefacts and after some more minutes the artifacts become so much so that there was nothing on display but random lines and drawings. I did everything I can re install tha drivers, reapply the thermal paste check the temperature and everything was fine, but the artefacts was shown even in the Nvidia preview settings panel

 

As a last resort I wiped the partition and reinstalled Windows and after that I installed only the Nvidia drivers. this time the artifacts was gone and everything was fine so I installed the rest of the drivers and restarted the PC and the artefact came back.

 

Can anyone confirm if this is a hardware issue ?

 

Please reply cause this is the only PC I have which has a dedicated GPU

 

Thanks in advance 

Linus please help

Have you tried running a stress test in this version of windows?

Bow down to me humans.

I can't help if you don't quote me. How am I supposed to know if you need my premium support? Now starting at £399.99 a year.

Also, be a sport and mark the correct answer as the correct answer. It will help pour souls in the future when they are stuck and need guidance.

see if you cant grab a replacement off ebay i guess. sounds like something is broken in it. you could see if MSI Afterburner will let you underclock it or raise the voltage some and see if that helps

I spent $2500 on building my PC and all i do with it is play no games atm & watch anime at 1080p(finally) watch YT and write essays...  nothing, it just sits there collecting dust...

Builds:

The Toaster Project! Northern Bee!

"Here is some advice that might have gotten lost somewhere along the way in your life. 

 

#1. Treat others as you would like to be treated.

#2. It's best to keep your mouth shut; and appear to be stupid, rather than open it and remove all doubt.

#3. There is nothing "wrong" with being wrong. Learning from a mistake can be more valuable than not making one in the first place.

 

Follow these simple rules in life, and I promise you, things magically get easier. " - MageTank 31-10-2016
