Hello everyone, Today, when I using my laptop as usual, it suddenly freezed and I had to make a hard switch off. After that, when I tried to turn on, the sreen just show a black screen and it will not make it to boot screen. After searching for a while on the internet, I think there is a problem with thermal paste and thermal pad (too old) and thus cause problem with venting the heat of the card (and of course does not make it to boot screen). So I have to take the card out and viola!, my laptop works normally. However, until I get new thermal paste and pad to replace the old one, I also need to assume the worst case scenario that my GPU is broken and need a replacement. Is there anywhere I could buy for a new one?

And can I get a different card than my old AMD 7970M? Does anyone have similar problem like me? I just want to hear some more opinions before making a purchase for the replacement.

New development. I found out that Dell has Enhanced Pre-boot System Assessment (ePSA) so I try to run it. Luckily, I made to ePSA and it ran check on all my hardware. And surprisingly, it found no problem with the GPU when I put it back to the mobo. So I proceed to restart and made it to the log on screen, but then BSoD with BAD_POOL_CALLER.
