Need a second opinion on dying video card chip
I got a hand me down laptop around 2005 from my dad. Its a IBM thinkpad T40. It has the Radeon mobility 7500 chip in it.
I've keep this thing clean as a whistle, never had a virus or anything on it. Ran AVG and malawarebytes scans on it very regulary.
Recently it has just started shutting down/ restarting without any warning. When it comes back up it says the video card/ drivers stopped working. Checked my drivers and they are the latest.
Never droped this laptop or anything. So i'm thinking the video card chip is just old and has ran out of time. Just wanted a second opinion.
