HP 노트북 그래픽 카드에 무슨일이...

HP Pavilion dv2811tx 모델의 그래픽카드는 HP NVIDIA GeForce 8M GS 이다. 그런데, 이놈이 얼마전부터 말썽이다.  화면의 안개자국이 생기질 않나. 심지어 하드웨어 문제가 나타나고 있는 것 같아서, 드라이버를 새로 깔아 보기도 하고 왜냐하면 vista에서 win7으로 바꿨기 때문에...  그런데, 다음과 같은 글을 발견했다.

All 8x00M are faulty even if they first work because there's a big design problem with the underfill(Chip등의
Package 밑을 절연 수지를 이용하여 완전히 메우는 공법). So their lifetime is very short for a GPU.
[그래픽 칩을 만드는 공법에 심각한 문제가 있어 GPU시간이 매우 짧다는 것이다. - 아 그래서 단종이 되었나 보다- 이것을 쉬쉬하고 팔아먹는 이 암울함.]
Cleaning (removing dust inside cooling system) and cooling (add cooling fans under your laptop) and powermizing (check driver settings) will help and extend the lifetime of your GPU for a few days or months, but this will not repair a faulty chip. Underclocking may also help. Also check for BIOS updates...
[쿨링을 잘하거나(아마 온도에 민감한 문제인가 보다) 언더 클록킹을 하면 몇일이나 몇달은 도움이 될라나]

Fact is, the lifetime of a 8x00M GPU is around 18 months, or less if you are a gamer or if your laptop is used several times each day, you'll just multiply the thermal cycles. [수명이 18개월이란다- 그래, 2년쯤 되었나?]

Nvidia told this to their shareholders:

And later they told this to their partners:

If you want to know why your GPU is dying, just read this:
http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/7...dia-g84-g86-bad
http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/3...chips-defective (read also part 2 and part 3).
People said TheInquirer is only publishing rumors but... how old is your GPU ?

Replacing a motherboard is very expensive... you may want to buy a an extended warranty, but check first your local law and consumer rights.

Apple extended their support for the same problems:

HP notebooks have also this problem:

Same is for Asus, Acer, Packard Bell...

So if your notebook is idle or only running office programs or web browsers, your GPU should not exceed 65°C. If you're gaming your GPU should not exceed 85-90°C. If you're above, expect your GPU is near the end. [GPU가 65도를 넘지 않게 해야한다.  컴터를 쓰지 말라는 얘긴데]

Test your laptop with an external monitor, but your pictures are already showing your GPU is dead.
[외부 모니터로 체크해보면, LCD문제가 아니라 GPU문제라는 것을...]


Good luck...

[ 아... 컴퓨터 쓰다가 죽으면  온도가 너무 높다는 것이구나....
  계륵인가? ]
