Hello
Specification:
Lenovo y50-70
Processor: i7-4720HQ 2.60 GHz
Graphic Card: NVIDIA GTX 960M
Hard Disk: 1TB
RAM: 8GB
For some year, during normal use, the screen suddenly turns all black and returns to normal after a while. About 6 months ago, I had 1-2 cases of stripes popping up on the screen during the game and I had to restart my computer. About a month ago, the "black screens" started to get worse and I had my computer cleaned and replaced. For a day or so nothing happened, then even though "black screens" started popping up much less frequently.
The guy who cleaned it said that if after cleaning the laptop will have what it used to be, it is best to sell it and buy a new one because it will most likely be a damaged graphics card and even if I manage to replace it, there may be other problems.
I have 3 questions:
1. In your opinion, it is a damaged graphics card, or can there be any other reason?
2. If so, is it possible to replace the graphics card and is it worth it?
3. If it's not worth it, at what price would you price this laptop?
4. I was thinking about selling and buying a new one, the same, does it make any sense, if not what other purchase do you recommend (I use the laptop mainly for programming for studies and not only, sometimes when a game comes out that cannot be avoided, it is for playing) ?
Regards and please help
