ADOR Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 This laptop may just be showing it's age now. Last month I had a few re-lines and dots pop up. I thought the 1070 was gone but noticed the BIOS didn't have any issues. After doing a wipe of the graphic drivers and some clean up. I did a fresh updated graphic driver install and it started working like it should with no issues or red on the screen. Turning the laptop on today after work and now I am seeing it again. I have tried that again. Even popped in a new SSD for a fresh windows install to see if that would solve the issue. I am now seeing the red on the BIOS screen as well. It still sees the 1070 but says it has errors and won't let the graphics fully install trying to install it from the device manager. A fully install of the drivers works fine doing it from a click and go driver installer. Trying to see if there is something else I have missed or if it looks like the 1070 is just going out and it's time to get a new laptop.

Naberius Posted June 24 Share Posted June 24 That definitely _sounds_ like the way I've had 1070s fail in the past but... do you have another GPU on hand to verify? Pain in the ass step but might answer the question properly...

ADOR Posted June 25 Author Share Posted June 25 This model has the 1070 made onto the motherboard. So no swapping. The red dots have finally went away. But the code 43 is still there and device manager is showing it as non working. I just thought it was odd that the Intel 630 graphics was affected by the 1070 not working as well. Just waiting for a day I get off work early enough to make the 3 hr plus round trip to get a new gaming laptop.

ADOR Posted June 26 Author Share Posted June 26 This is weird. I haven't tried disabling and re-enabling the 1070 since the screen turned back normal (No red dots). When I did it looks like it's working now. I am sure it still have issues but I might as well use it while I can. Got to play 76 tonight. It's back working but i am still going to get a new laptop.
