This is for fx7811
Couldn't find anything around the net, and yall seem to always be able to help.
When playing a game after a little while (shorter for the more graphically intensive games) The screen shuts down and the sound stops. But the fan, lights, and HDD are still running.
I've spent HOURS (over 8 today alone) cleaning out the computer, and applying/replacing heat pads with ICD. Cleaning out the whole notebook. Hell, I can field strip this thing to its bare components in record time.
I just updated the BIOS from .08 to .17 and that actually increased the GPU a few degrees Celsius. Am also using the latest drivers for the Nvidia card.
I'm thinking of trying the .20 but that seems to have a lot higher idle temperatures with minimal if any high temperature gains.
When it shuts down, the GPU temp was around 82-82 with .08 and just got 85-86C with .17 I use to not have such high temperatures, but the computer is completely clean, so I also don't know why it is this high to begin with. My only assumption is that the new games are much harder on the gfx card.
The HDD and CPU temps have never been a problem, so my only guess is the GPU. After hours of researching, cleaning, upgrading software I have no idea how to fix this.
Has anyone encountered this problem and been able to fix it? Or at least know what it is?
I got the Black Tie policy with BB so I can get them to replace the component if I know what it is. I brought it to them a month or so ago for this reason but they just replaced the HDD for no reason and sent it back.
Thanks in advance!

It seems like this guide has fixed a variety of problems. http://forum.notebookreview.com/gat...te-solution-nvlddmkm-video-crash-p-7805u.html
I had a problem similar to yours, except the crashing wasn't related to temperature but was related to 3D games. I had to ship mine for repairs. My problem though was innate and it sounds like yours just came up right? -
Yea, this popped out of no where. Don't remember when though.
I no longer think its a temperature problem, since I've had it stop at some completely different temperatures.
I'll try the guide out, thanks!
