My PC's Graphic Card is dying. - Page 2

skysidhe · 08-29-2010, 08:32 PM

I disabled my graphics card and it still grumbles. The GPU still gets warm but by standards not too warm at 54c? When it gets to 118c at times I do shut it off. It's 78c right now.

This technology forum is so great for brainstorming. If anyone has ANY idea what the problem could be I would appreciate it, otherwise I am not going to sink money into it for guesses.

Is it still making noise?

Yes, disabling the graphics card made no change in it's behavior.

What's the Acer model? Just curious.

Sorry, I didn't see this. I will look tomorrow. I am on a spare pc at the moment.

If I remember right it is an aspire X1700. I haven't looked at the tower yet to confirm but is the number I've got stuck in my head. I spent some time looking around the web for that models drivers etc. so I am sure I am right.
