Problem with the GPU on Dell Latitude E5510 laptop
I own a Dell Latitude E5510, and whenever I install a GPU driver it freezes and locks up. In Windows 10 it shows the error VIDEO_TDR_FAILURE. On Windows 7 it just becomes immobile after a few seconds. I've tested various CPUs, drivers, BIOS updates, and RAM changes, but nothing resolves the issue. I understand this machine is old and slow, yet I still want to get it working. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
The problem seems broad enough to cover various causes. It suggests checking your graphics card settings, as installing the correct driver might resolve the issue. Using an incorrect driver could trigger similar responses. Older computers are more prone to overheating since they handle higher temperatures. If the GPU temperature reaches around 70°C, there may be a fault. Consider opening the case, clearing debris, and replacing thermal paste on both CPU and GPU. Ensure the fans operate smoothly, especially under stress. Other programs might also be causing interference, or the GPU could be failing.
The component comes with a fresh paste, and I replaced the CPU because the iGPU is situated there.
