Problems with NVIDIA Geforce GT 540M 2GB
Hello guys,
I am pretty new in here and I have some problems with my Laptop which is DELL XPS 15 L502X.
Specs of the laptop are the following
Intel Core i7-2630QM @2.00Ghz
6GB RAM
NVIDIA Geforce GT 540M 2GB
Motherboard Dell Inc. 0NJT03
698 GB Western Digital WDC WD7500BPKT-75PK4T0 ATA Device (SATA)
So here my problem.
Whenever I try to play a game for like random time, for example 5-10 minutes or sometimes on 40-50 minutes my laptop gets freezing sound and this happens on every game and the game is completely frozen and sometimes I can end the process with CTRL + ALT + DELETE and kill the process from the task manager but sometimes I need manually to shutdown from the power button. Sometimes it gives me an error message like my NVIDIA driver stopped working and some kernel version.
Also my battery died long time ago and I've been searching for some solutions on the internet and some of them said that this series of laptops has this problems when the battery dies then when you gaming you'll get constantly game freezing etc .. but before I purchase the battery I want to make sure that the problem is not about the battery.
Also I have cleaned my laptop from dust and changed the thermal compound 2 months ago. I will post a snapshot of the temperatures below.
Here are some of the info that I have in "Problem Reporting" which you can see in "problems.txt"
And the first picture below is the temperatures of my laptop when I don't game.
And the second picture below is the temperatures of my laptop when I game.
