Hello all,
Hope i can get help with this issue before I decide to buy video card/motherboard.
I have sony vaio vpcca, intel hd series integrated and radeon hd 6600m dedicated chips.
I was playing a game, the laptop as usual got hot, but like always would cool down. Usually when I would have the game minimized, the fan would run very fast. I minimized it and switched to chrome for browsing, noticed fan wasn't running fast. Switched to game and fan came on for a bit and cooled down the laptop. Played for about half hour and got colored horizontal lines on my lcd screen and the computer shut down, then consistently receives power but won't even load vaio logo on boot.
I realized it might have over heated so I cooled it down, after couple of hours i tried to start the laptop and it came on, load the windows, however same horizontal lines appear on log on screen and the laptop repeats as mentioned.
I took the laptop apart to see if lcd cables got loose, tied it up, put everything together, still won't go past log on screen.
Another question is if I have 2 cards, if one is overheated why wouldn't it use the other. I know that the computer used radeon, for game and intel for desktop, so I don't know if it's motherboard or graphics card. Also if I need another card do i need exact model or any mobile hd radeon graphics?
