    Hi,
    few days ago I was using my computer like usual, no hard load. Then it crashed with blue screen and starting from that time, it shows artefacts on both internal and external monitor. I set it on "Integrated graphic only" in BIOS and everything shows okey. But when I set it to "Discrete graphic only", artefacts come up and Windows won't boot (see screenshots).

    Anyone knows what is happing? Is it possible to repair by myself?


    Thanks,
    Viliam



    Details:
    Acer 3820tg
    Intel i5-430M (with Intel HD Graphics)

    You can't do a thing - it looks like HD5650 is on its last legs. At least the notebook is still usable with integrated graphics.
