    hi there
    im actually a raging gamer, and I always hit my m14x laptop when losing a game
    last time when playng pes my nvidia card started to mess up and rendered textures had some vertical and horizontal lines, I tried to reinstall driver but it always gets stuck at 5-6percent.

    ive restored the device driver in management part of win10 and its working fine right now, im pretty sure it was a hw failure, cause ive experienced something similar on my desktop and my gpu on it died after a while , is it safe to use or I should stick with my intelhd gpu?
    I mean can I do something to save my gt555?

    I'm sure the intel GPU should last you, but I would recommend getting a new(er) laptop. I went from an old asus N55SF with a GT555M to a Clevo N950TP6 with a GTX 1060 after my old laptop GT555M also died, my screen was full of artifacts, and it would only work when i downclock it like crazy.

    I can't effort for a new laptop, I wanna pick something with good specifics like yours, but as I said its too expensive. but down clocking is something I may try, itll be great if works, thanks!

    We might work something out if you can specify your budget?
    You can get a pretty nice system with a 1050ti for about 700 bucks nowadays.
