    I have i7-3720m, gtx 670m, p150em. My cheap thermal paste made short circuit and graphics card burned(photo 1). [​IMG]
    Gtx670 power chip burned and exploded (photo 2).
    [​IMG]
    And I pulled the card computer opening but just beeps and 15 seconds then shuts down.
    I have some questions

    1-) Is there a problem computer's motherboard and other components ?

    2-) Can I open without graphics-card ?

    3-) Can I try another gtx660, gtx 670m or amd 7970m ?

    1. Most probbably not..

    2. No, you need to have one... Otherwise Clevo laptops will not boot... Like in the video...
    3. Yes you can...You can use 970M/980M with Prema vBIOS too...

    For the price of those. 970M is a better choice... Those all will also work but avoid 880M.. Overheating trash..
