I am willing to sell my non-functioning Everex XT5000T for $49.99 or best offer. Basically, it's the same issue with the GPU dying. I am not interested in disassembling the laptop, tried to initially but gave up and I am no longer interested since I got a Dell 17" laptop with a better GPU (ATI...

Yep same thing with mines except I could see what seems like smoke or burn-in going through the screen. Definitely a video issue. Here is post on Dell's website about the symptoms of defective nVidia GPUs. As you could tell from the posts below that ALOT of people with nVidia GPU's are having...

Thanks for the sympathy TANWare. I really appreciated your help earlier in the year when I had the issue with IRQ conflict for the XT5000T with the network card and the graphics card. Too bad the Everex had to die. My Dell Studio 17" 1735 seems like a pretty nice laptop especially since it has a...

The GPU finally died last Friday. I decided to test the GPU to see if I will have the same issue again with the screen going black so I tried the ribbions screensaver and after couple of seconds into it the screen went black. So, I immediately turned off the laptop. After turning it on again it...

Hi guys, So today morning I was using my Everex then after a while the screen turned black and when I click the mouse or the keyboard to get out of what I presume to be asleep, nothing shows up, the screen is black, even though all the light indicators for the wireless, the battery all...

Sighs. :( Even with my cheap laptop cooler and the new bios 1.1D I still get 100 C when gaming, granted it is cooler when not gaming due to the new bios fan speed. But still it's rather a shame that the temp. get's that high. At the price I brought this laptop in July of '07, this laptop was the...

I was wondering what is your GPU temp. while gaming using the Zalman cooler? Mines get up to 100 C.

Mine has been sleep for couple of hours and I did not notice the profile drop for the MSI card yet.

UPDATE: So, I installed the MSI card everything has been working fine, for now. I was able to use the drivers I was previously using without any random BSOD. Now, this laptop is almost perfect all except the 100C GPU temp :eek: that I get when gaming even with the new BIOS 1.1D although idle...

Thanks for the prompt response TANWare. I have decided to get the MSI MN54g wireless card. So do I just pop it in and disable the atheros? and also leave the wireless on switch infront of the laptop? Thanks.

Hi Guys, I was going to post this on the Everex forum but it is down but since many of you guys used to be around at the Everex forum maybe you could help me with my XT5000T problem. So, basically what happened is, after I updated the bios of my XT5000T to 1.1D from 1.1A I am having the...
