Bluescreen 0x0000000A, Video Related? During Startup
Hello,
I'm trying to fix a friend's computer that is having issues lately with getting a BSOD intermittently during start-up. I believe from what I've been able to look through that it is related to the video card in some way.
This is an asus rog laptop G72GX, with an nvidia gtx 260m video card.
The problem is, I've ran prime95 and furmax both for extended periods of time, and while I was able to get some pretty awesome temperatures out of the laptop while I ran these tests, I did not experience a single bluescreen. The only time the computer actually bluescreens is during startup, and only maybe 1 in 7 startups?
After a bluescreen, the computer might bluescreen for 2 or 3 times in a row during startup, before the startup will succeed and everything will continue on as normal. Booting into Hiren's and safe mode seems to work every time, but whether or not this is just luck or not remains to be determined.
I'm over my head, so now I leave it to the experts, hopefully you guys can help point me in the right direction. Is the video card just failing and there is nothing I can do? Or is there something more I can update/tweak to get this puppy working reliably for her again?
