Interesting. Maybe you should get yourself a blog going. Seems like you got enough stories to tell.

Yea, make a blog and put it in your signature. Much better to categorize than the forums which we may not catch all the time.
lol, +1
What were you doing when it fried is the question I am dying to hear the answer of.
I constantly push my laptops integrated i945GML WAAAAYYYY past its limit and I am waiting for the day I fry it. I guess I shouldn’t be so hard on it, but I just like to see what Unity can do on my system and what mainstream games I can play on it. One of these days I will probably have a similar post to this AND a smoldering laptop.
you over-clocked it 500% its original speed so you could play crysis!
ahaha…i guess its a story that i want to know because it never happen to me are you doing overclock on your GC?
Forum Spamming is very taxing on graphics cards.
LOL… 304 post in about 2 weeks, Jeepers!
But if your gpu toasted, you shouldn’t see anything at all.
Something isn’t right here
Not true with some cards. I don’t know exactly how it works(barely at all actually), but basically there is the 3d stuff, which is probably what fried, and then there is something else which I forget the name of. It will allow you to have an OS running, but not a whole lot more. And by 3d stuff, I simply mean more intensive than the GUI for the OS.
I had a similar situation, It seemed like the graphics card was bad, I first kept getting errors when playing games then it said somehitng about my gc being uninstalled or something: long story short it was the power supply. It was not completely gone but gone enough to not feed the gc and everything else.
I pushed my old processor so hard it didn’t work anymore.
Didn’t tell any forums though.
You just did.
busted
agreed
Touche!
Maybe the motherboard had a built in gpu, so if the pci gpu wasn’t detected it used the default motherboard gpu!
