NVidia Graphics Card on the Fritz?

Blowing compressed air through the fan could help with the cooling.
I've seen some motherboards where the graphics adapter sits on a separate card because the same machine is sold in different configurations. Hit ebay for used graphics cards.

Usually if it's heat related, you can get it to boot and work until it warms up, and then it fails. As @Pete-S said, blowing compressed air over it continuously would solve the heat issue if there is one.

That's what I was thinking. This is dead from moment go.

If the laptop isn't worth much to you without the NVidia, you can Google "laptop oven reflow"
