    Well the title pretty much explains it
    I've been getting really weird noises from my speakers.
    Untitled - WMA Download, Play, Listen Songs - 4shared

    and my display driver randomly crashes.
    It actually crashed while recording that .wav file with no 3d rendering going on...

    Well i've tried my SSD my HDD windows 7 windows vista, default drivers from ASUS and drivers from NVIDIA and they all end up crashing, this laptop is about 6 years old or so, so i'm guessing that i need to re-flow the GPU / mobo, could anyone give me some proper guides for oven and/or a heatgun. my heatgun only has 2 settings low or high.

    well i baked it at 385F for 7 mins and let it cool in the oven with the door cracked 1/4th of the way, installed it back into my laptop and so far so good, before it would work fine for about 30-60 mins then randomly crash so im still testing if it crashes.

    Now it crashes less often but it still crashes, could it be thermal expansion and contraction?
