    So, I`ve bought this notebook back in 08/09. Played several hours, the laptop gets hot, REALY HOT....but never presented any kind of bugs or artifacts.
    After a while the laptop started to have frame drops...so I started using it with a ventilator under it, and lid open, to cool it off...
    One little thing..my pc was having some BSOD issues...but not when I was playing games the laptop....but when it was downloading content overnight...

    I was using it on idle(only downloading some stuff), with the fan under it cooling it .... and out of the blue it crashed.
    When I turned it on the resolution was really bad...the nvidia couldn't find the GPU and on the device manager it was displaying the CODE 43 error...but my 9800m GS is clearly connect to my pc as you can see here in the GPU-Z hdk.png

    Now here comes my question.... WT* happened here ?
    Is my graphic card dead ?
    Is there anything that I can do to fix it ?
