Lenovo y40-80
intel i7-5500 CPU
R9 m275 GPU
My laptop keeps BSOD with multiple errors, including, but not limited to, video memory management error, irql not less or equal.
After a lot of diagnosing the laptop, I think that it's my GPU.
Things I tried:
GPU with no AMD software = laptop works
No GPU (UMA graphics only) and AMD software = laptop works
GPU and AMD software = laptop BSOD
I think I have to repaste my GPU and CPU, but I don't want to buy paste and find out it's not the cause.
I heard I had to do a reflow as well.
I work in IT helpdesk so I'm not new to PCs but I haven't had to do reflows or paste.
From the issue I discussed, can anyone let me know if reflow and paste is the way to go?
