Hi everyone, I have a 7600go mobile card in my laptop.
Here is the story... HP has replaced the board (MOBO + GPU) 2 times now- both times it died of the same symptoms, GPU overheating and making the graphics stop working completely.
They tell me that this part is definitely NOT defective, but I don't trust them. I have read from many other users in the same boat as me that HP has been UNDERclocking the GPU to allow the board to last past the 90 day repair warranty.
So a few questions:
1. Best program to check the temps of my GPU? What is a good temp, what is too high?
2. Best program to test out the GPU - not break it, but any graphics card should be able to be stressed without dying. I want to see its limits
3. Is there a program to look at the clockspeed of my GPU? If so, what can I do to check if it is the correct/default one that ships with the 7600go?
Thank you so much!!
