my laptop started crashing today from what's most likely GPU issues (i've ruled out RAM and HDD, and it does not crash while using safe modes of both windows or linux, which don't use the dedicated GPU)

let's raise money for me to get a new laptop or at least get this one fixed

getting to the fan takes a lot of case disassembly but i can see the fan itself from the vents and it is not obstructed, and it turns on fine

it doesn't seem to overheat any more than usual, so i don't think it's a -new- heat problem

okay how much

assuming it's a reballing (BGA) issue, a repair can go for about R$450 (~US$200)

update: my sister gave me her netbook while my laptop is broken

it's nothing to write home about but it is tiny and the battery lasts forever!!

Ok so another update

I was pretty sure my parents weren't exactly in the best of financial positions to buy me a new laptop but after some time my dad decided to surprise me by buying one without telling me

I now have a new laptop which is very nice!! I'm only a little worried about the money my dad maybe should be putting towards other things so it makes me a little guilty

As much displeasure as I've felt towards my family over the years, I genuinely don't want them to dig themselves into a hole of misery

Not that the price of one laptop is going to change much in the big scheme of things but my parents (despite having econimics degrees) were never very well off financially and could never save much to not be always worrying about money.
