Since you were playing a game for a few hours, and then encountered "noise" its likely the GPU that got hit. Corruption of visuals. aka odd colored pixels, is something that frequently happens with an overheated GPU. When its mild, as in pushing overclocking just a tad too much, the effects will be just a few pixel here and there. But a screen that has completely fucked up is something I haven't seen. |
dude, I had both the heatsink onmy alienware's CPU/GPU go bad. It's not a longshot. It happens. Especially in laptops due to them being moved around so much.
