    Hey guys,

    I have an MSI GT780 with a GTX560M GPU thats artifacting really badly. There are green lines all over the screen even in BIOS, through to Windows. The following album would pretty much describe the problem: https://www.dropbox.com/sc/dv2b87vb02lyflz/AABglPcxdZV578yvzHVpU8KKa

    Another problem seems to be that the GPU is not displaying on the screen, thus I have to use an external monitor. The screen's LED come on but thats about it.

    Im wondering if anyone's ever experienced such a problem? I have dissasembled the whole unit, cleaned and repasted the GPU to no avail.

    I have a GTX260M and HD5870M that I could try test in the laptop, if they're compatible with this unit.

    Cheers! :)

    update: I have tried a HD5870M in the laptop off my M17X and it worked fine.. so I can conclude that its definitely a broken GTX560M. Screen worked perfectly too. GPU replacement time!
