Well it looks like the GPU (Nvidia GTX 860M 4Gig RAM) in my System76 Bonox8 has or is in the process of burning out.
The symptoms are , it started with occasional pixilation across the screen in 2-3 narrow bands thin started getting worse and now it will do it within a minute and even in the BIOS setup .
I have cleaned the fans and heat sink , then got really down and put it up for a wile .
at present the wife and I are sharing a cheep Chromebook and it;s doing OK
I am thinking of puling and reseating the GPU and looking for a way to activate the CPU's graphics I didn't see a way in the BIOS maybe their is a jumper pin on the MOBO ?
when I look up the CPU it said it has Intel graphics ,,,,,,,,
any and all suggestions welcome ,
Thank you
VINNY
