idle GPU temperature 88 c

[Mohamed_161]

my graphic card temperature is 85-92 degrees in idle state and it rises even when i'm just browsing the web, and frequently reaches 100 and the laptop shutdown
also mu cpu temperature is around 80-88 and rises to 93 and more when i open large applications like photoshop

and now my nividia card is gone, not detected by device manager, driver easy, driver pack solution, or nividia site and i manually downloaded the driver and it won't install, says no compatible driver found, now i'm depending on intel hd graphics and that' im talking about at the beginning of my topic
are these temperatures dangerous and what happened to my card, how do i know if it's dead?

i have dell inspiron n5110
nividia gt 525m
core i5

Hello,
it sounds like you are out of luck, i think your GPU has become so warm that it needs to be re-soldered for it to work again.

The 525m is a rebranded 400 series and the 400 series was a very warm GPU and specially in the laptops, i know because i work with compuers and alot of laptops with the 200-600 series back in the day. i persoanlly had a 17" inch dell with the GTX 445 and the same thing happend to that one. get a new laptop, usually it does not pay off to have it repaired.

Hello,

This is a 6 year old laptop, the warranty for parts expires usually by year 3, and by year 5 you need to replace the systems because they are incompatible with current technology (i.e. you don't have a USB3 connection yet all thumb drives are USB3).

That said, as soon as those temps went up like that you should have had it serviced IMMEDIATELY. Temperatures are HARDWARE issue, this has nothing to do with SOFTWARE drivers, applications, etc. You didn't fix it when it said it had problems (overheating) and thus you killed / broke it - think like NOT putting water in the Radiator or oil in the engine and let it keep overheating same thing.

As replacing laptop parts is NOT off the shelf accessible, costs MORE than replacing the laptop entirely, and are very very hard to do (since the GPU would be SOLDERED onto the motherboard, which can't just be 'unplugged and swapped out") you thus have a ready to be trashed system.

If you need basic just "Youtube" watching, write emails, surf the internet need, head to Walmart, they have laptops for only $250 and your up and running again much cheaper than trying to get a new motherboard, cost for man hours to fix it, etc.
