My laptop boots up fine and stuff but whenever I start up any video game it starts beeping like a smoke alarm until it shuts itself down
I'll go with maybe. If you troll eBay long enough you may find one from someone parting out a system. But thats a major IF.No warranty and I've got a budget of roughly $150 so be honest with me, is it possible to get the right GPU for $150?
If its been cleaned out and still crashing upon launching any game you may have a GPU failure of some sort. There is not much you can do for that. I'd like to see what happens when something lower end is run on your GPU, can you download userbenchmark www.userbenchmark.com and run it and see if it crashes?All I know about the specs is its got a 1050 ti graphics card and an Intel core i7 processor, it's roughly 2 yrs old and as for dust it should have none anywhere as I had it professionally cleaned yesterday to try and fix the problem
Can you give me the link to your Userbenchmark score? It should have popped up with a linkI ran user benchmark, didn't crash (i assume because it's more of a program than an actual like full-on game), but I did figure out something interesting, my processor, boot drive, memory and OS version are all in the green but for graphics its red and says "3.69% is too low to play 3D games or use CAD packages. (Note: general computing tasks don't require 3D graphics) " so could this be a sign that the problem is with my graphics card? Could it be because I need to update the drivers? Or would you recommend just straight up getting a new graphics card, if I were to get a new graphics card would it affect any of my data or personal files or things that I have installed?

Yes its as I suspected your 1050ti GPU did not activate. Please try to install the latest Nvidia Drivers This is the latest oneUserBenchmarks: Game 14%, Desk 57%, Work 43%
