Well, it was a matter of time until [URL="http://www.facepunch.com/threads/1072646-Post-your-CPU-Z-Validation-result?p=28791844&viewfull=1#post28791844"]this god-awful piece of shit[/URL] gave out on me.
Here's the whole story:
I was visiting my grandparents for my grandma's birthday, she got a kindle as a birthday present and I spent the time installing morrowind for the 80th time. After it finally installed with some graphical tweaks. I alt-tabbed out of morrowind to transfer some perfectly legal ebooks for my grandmother and when I returned to morrowind. [B]Poof.[/B] My laptop exploded into a stuttered screen of the boat and froze. When I went to restart it, it refuses to boot now. The power LED lights up and the CD drive actually turns on for a bit and then nothing.
I've already tried switching around the RAM.
The battery does charge with the power supply.
So, with the research I did, there are two possibilities.
1. The DC jack is pissed off
2. My video card is pissed off
I don't think it's the DC jack because I would assume that if that was the problem, the battery wouldn't charge. I don't know for sure if that's exactly how it works.
So, that leaves the video card, [B]The bombtasic Xpress 1150 of the more bombtasic inspiron 1501[/B]
I understand it's an intergrated graphics card.
The question: Do I have any hope left for this thing or should I just build a new computer?
sounds like something overheated very badly, it's probably dead.
