hi, I have a Sony VAIO ( VPCF137HG), its about 10 years old but still runs really well except sometimes it randomly shuts down. I believe I have found the source of this, when I run a benchmark test, it gets to the part where it says '''Bench NVIDIA GeForce GT 425M ...." then it opens a tab to run a 3d graphic, at this point it stuts down within a second of this starting. I have repeated this at least 5 times and it always shuts down at the exact same point. when it shuts down the screen just goes black then it turns off, no blue screen etc.. I updated to the latest drivers but this make no difference.
Do you know what the problem is? I think the GPU is not working but im a student and I dont want to go buy a new GPU only to discover that wasnt the problem and that ive now wasted my money.
any help would be appreciated 🙂
