I just killed my everex xt5300t.

It had 8600M GS cpu chipset and I oc'd it to 725 core 485 mem, it overheated and died because of the nvidia underfill issue.

oops!

But I was playing tribes on it and ran great until the laptop powered off.

Now when I power it on, it turns off after a few seconds and nothing is displayed on the screen.

Oh well.

Another one bites the dust.

Might also be a BGA issue... you could try reflowing... But if it is an 86xx, not worth it.

I know of a place here in orlando that will replace the chip with a new one for $150.

I'd get a new one if its that much. One not prone to bumpgate.

Yeah, I was going to a lan party and I was preparing the laptop, needed some tweaking. But I pushed it to far and it died of heat stroke.
