Thanks for the recommendation. Well ever since I cleaned the dust out I have had the bottom lid open and have it on the cooler pad with the twin fans blowing almost directly onto the video card so under load it does not push past 80degrees (average is 60). Plus the laptop fan spins up under heavy load. I mean like blowing pretty well thus I'm assuming heat isn't the problem then.
So I guess the card is damaged/defective... Sucks!
I'm just wondering if I get a new card and the issue still persists. Could it be this is caused by some other problem like Motherboard or low power by the PSU? Is there a way to check for sure without testing with another laptop?
