Hi there,
I own an alienware 17 (november '14) with a gtx 765m, i7-4700mq. My screen was the 1600x900 resolution, running at 110Hz.
While trying to overclock I noticed that my memory speed and clock speed of my gpu were very low and they wouldn’t change even if I changed my oc. I decided to do a reboot, which also had Windows updates bound to it. When my laptop tried to boot, it failed and beeped 8 times. I got it to boot after that, by taking out the cmos. I did notice that my gpu drivers didn't work anymore. I decided to reboot again after deleting the drivers, to perform a fresh instal of my gpu drivers. After the shutdown I couldn't get it to post anymore. I'm assuming that I broke my Gpu even though the 8 beeps refer to an lcd failure.
If my gpu broke, is it possible to make my laptop boot without it? It is important to know that my integrated gpu wasn't getting detected in the bios, which wasn't a problem in the past, but now it could be usefull to boot using the integrated GPU.
Has anyone got a clue what I could do? Getting a new gpu isn't cheap.
I hope someone can help, thanks in advance,
Sam
