Try using SAFE MODE, mash F8 key rapidly when you start your laptop (turning ON from OFF). If you can manage to get into desktop in safe mode then you can uninstall driver for graphic card. In my personal way, I dislike netbook (small laptop which doesn't have cd drive inside). Try it first and...

Yeah, download GPU-Z and run that program, it will tell you the exact model/series of your graphic card. :)

When did you bought this laptop? Is still under warranty? If yes, Samsung should be responsible for this issue, well if it's still on warranty...

You might want to try CLEAN Install everything from zero. I mean, clean install Operating System (Win 8.1) that you used before this nightmare began. Get back to us soon if you have an update for this issue...

No, don't grab HD4870x2, it's an old tech and can get HOT pretty fast. You'll better with HD6950, no need to unlock it, that card is already fast enough. BTW, what is your full specs?

Check whether the fan is working(spins) or not. This can be difficult, since we don't know for sure which component is broke...

Well, list all specs here... Are you sure inside the case is free from dust? We need more info here...

Don't mess around with your card, in case it succeed the it's good, but what happened if it failed and broke the card? You have a good card, there, buddy... :)

For gaming, at least you must have $1000 more to get a gaming laptop... Seriously, get a desktop instead if you want to gaming with your budget...

That laptop would be good for a home/office work/watching videos, but not to play high end games, it has Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator HD on the GPU side... You may play some light games with lowest setting but not with heavy games like COD, Crysis, BC2 or any games recently...
