Sup niggers.
5 years ago, I bought a laptop from my colleague for 50 euros. Of course with that price, the laptop would be shit; however, I still managed to game on it, playing Red Faction, AVP2, Shogu and even Left 4 Dead 2 smoothly geg.
So, after a few years ago, I decided to bingeplay L4D2 and everything was well, I then played some strange ass map and soon my laptop recieved a BSOD and shutdown. When I tried booting up, the Win 7 kept loading and loading for like 15 min until it gave me a BSOD and shut down. I tried going on system repair or cleanup, but that shit didn't do anything. The only shit that worked was going to safe mode or disabling the GPU from the device manager. I then thought that maybe Win 7 was AIDS, so I installed Linux Mint on it and replaced it. Guess what? The same shit obviously, it didn't load and I had to go on recovery mode. I changed some line of code to make me start up normally.
So my question for you /tech/niggers is this, can I save this shitty ass laptop to make it compatible for gayming, or is the GPU really that bricked and I'm stuck with making this into a work laptop?

try a real distro, lunix mint is just Ubuntu but somehow even more broken and even more for niggers
i almost gave up on linux cause i tried installing Kubuntu and the nigger wouldnt even boot, it was because ubuntu is ass not because of linux

If it’s mPCIE or whatever and removable, you could try reflowing it in an oven. There are guides online. Definitely sounds like a hardware issue but you could also diagnose it first with OCCT or some uefi program i’ve heard of but never needed

If it's MXM you can throw in some worsktation GPU and make it werk for cheap
