After using the laptop for around 10 min I get screen glitchs. The best way to describe it is similar to the screen saver Mystify for windows. It seems like it happens in the corners of the screen and boxs that are open. Its always the weird stuff that happens to me

This file is self-expandable on any Toughbook model‚ but the
drivers can only be installed (used) on the applicable model number. -
I downloaded the driver and went to install until it said "CF-29 series software.
This machine does NOT support. It's the same error message I get when I try to install drivers for my non working F keys -

Use winrar to extract the exe file, if you are sure you have the right driver,as it bypasses that message

I know everybody here says its software issue, but I really think the gpu is overheating.
It sounds to me like you are seeing video artifacts, and they only appear after about 10 min of playback.
maybe you have a heat sinking issue. -
i Got the model and serial number from the bios. I think 'Gothed' is right because i left the laptop on for a couple hours and it was getting worse. Im going to take it apart tomorrow and clean it up and use some new thermal compound.

This may also be related to bad RAM as the video shares some of the onboard RAM. You may want to pull the expansion RAM if any and see if the problem goes away. Hope it's not the onboard ram that's causing it or you may be in for a new motherboard.

It will need thermal pads not thermal compound. Thermal compound will make matters worse.
