Oke i know and read and watched the youtube clip of the cooling and the Nvidia combo
But there is hope for this laptop it's a Acer Aspire 9300
Amd Turion 64 clocked at 1.61 Ghz
2 G of Ram
Nvidia Gforce Go 7600 128 MB
Windows XP Sp3

Now it has the following trouble when i enable the video card it gives a memdump (BSOD) or just stripes in different colors even in the bios it give strange letters as if i'm watching the matrix :)
When i disable the videocard i get in windows as if i have dead pixels in my screen but they are in differnt colors.
During start up i get stripes in the acer logo (cracks)
Is there a way to solve this ?

Things i treid myself already
Open the laptop and cleaned it very wel cooling and everything (geezz so many screws and nasty tricks to provent people from opening it)
Format and install XP, treid driver but durin bios strips, windows logo wierd colors in the logo, windows itself strips then black screen.
Disable videocard now i'm working on it but it's as i have dead pixels sometimes a lot sometimes non.

Any advise would be great but i fear the answer :(

It looks like the video card isn't onboard so you could swap it for a new one. What you see is a common thing when the video-RAM is defective.

As far as i could see when i had it open the video chip is mounted on the motherboard and it use shared memory although it's called dedicated memory.
I have run memtest and the memory checked out good.
Video card is giving a directdraw error but that is not strange because i disable it.

Thx for the help though
