Nvidia GeoForce GT 650M Help

[PublicSeaLion]

Recently my Nvidia GeoForce GT 650M crashes every time I start any game. Sometimes I get an error about shaders, sometime I get nothing, and sometimes I get the dreaded Blue Screen.

I have wiped it, updated drivers, tried beta drivers, tried old drivers, and have repeated this process for over a month now. Does anyone know what it wrong?

Sounds like a card issue-it's usually related to the GPU or graphics memory. You need to send it in for servicing or get a replacement. Hopefully it's still under warranty.

It is...but it's gonna be weeks to fix it most likely

It's gonna be the same thing eventually, since you can't use it properly now, its like not even having a video card.
The blue screen stop could would be helpful if you can catch it, STOP: 0x0000008E < this one, since you can just search for the code and see what it says.

Sometimes it can be helpful, sometimes not at all because it raises more questions than it answers, for example if the error code you would get say something like ( yes I'm making this up ) "ERROR : VRAM Memory Fetch Failed" that at least would give you a clue that it could be something that
Wreckless Eating said. Altho its a bit unlikely since errors at this level fail in different areas, leaving you without a clue on what really happened.

As for the BSOD, its very likely that it's a hardware problem, if you installed the correct drivers, reinstalled a few times, and it's bad with any combination its definitely a hardware problem of some sort, or very rarely a slot problem, like your PCI-e slot is faulty.
