Screen Corruption Troubleshooting
Hi,
Been having a problem with my Dell Latitude E4200. See the screenshot.
I was running the newest build of Windows 10 Insider Preview and I thought Win 10 was too much for this laptop, so I reinstalled my Windows 7 image.
I have the newest Intel Mobile Series 4 drivers installed from Dell (8.15.10.2869). It doesn't happen on every program start; sometimes everything is perfect, and sometimes it shows up like the ss. I thought it was the interior heat. I can't get the onboard fan to run at full speed; I have A24 BIOS installed. This laptop may have a BIOS thermal table that disallows the fan to run fast.
I have taken apart the laptop fully and have applied new Arctic Silver thermal paste. (Boy, what a job tearing THIS one apart!)
I have an external 9" fan on the laptop about 6 inches away running at high speed; it's 109 degrees today, and it's still doing it.
Current HW Monitor screenshot attached; those are normal temps.
Any Ideas? Or do I need to get a new motherboard?
