My 4 years old clevo finally kicked the bucket, but I wonder what exactly failed. I tried starting it up, only to find that the screen would freeze during log on, with weird artifacting during windows startup (when drivers load). Thinking that my windows install got corrupted, I made a clean reinstall and the problem seemingly went away, until I installed the drivers again. I then tried disabling the discrete GPU, but the same happened with the iGPU, except it would just show a black screen with a white line at the bottom.
The PC runs just fine using "microsoft basic display driver" (no installed nVidia or Intel drivers). When it doesn't display anything, I can turn the display on and off, as well as put it to sleep and wake it up. Sounds also play when I trigger sticky keys.
I wonder if the power delivery is dead. Didn't notice any dead components when inspecting the board thoroughly.
Specs:
i7 7700HQ
GTX 1070
