I have a Asus G50VT which i purchased off eBay it gives me blue screen a lot and cant play ANY games i figure its the graphics card I've tried everything from nvidia drivers to windows/intel drivers the problem seems to be hardware but i'm not sure the exact cause of the problem which is why i'm seeking help. The card is a 9800M GS

Things i've tried:
Replace the ram sticks in the laptop
Update/rollback/uninstall re install drivers
Reformat entire machine to windows 7(manufactured with windows vista)

What i want to know:
Can i replace the graphics card to fix my problem?
Will providing a blue screen crash log help you understand the problem?
Is an "integrated" graphics card completely impossible to fix without replacing motherboards? It would seem the card isn't solders on and using a slot i figured this part is replaceable but i'm no expert.
If the graphics card IS replaceable can anybody tell me which cards will work with my machine i have trouble finding the original model of this card on eBay or anywhere for a decent price perhaps if someone knows a similar card that will work ill greatly appreciate that! :)

My email is warriorofwu@hotmail.com
PS Buying a new laptop is out of the question, i have no more money. and ive been able to prevent crashs by disabling the graphics driver in device manager this is obviously not a fix but is that the best i can hope for?


UPDATE: Can i repair this entire problem by purchasing a external graphics card? this PC has hdmi port vga and firewire ports I just want it to run a few games

I too have this same problem, being that my 9800m will crash, usually just a black screen/ bsod. I heard of one guy replacing the card with a similar GTX 260m, a better card as well. He said it worked, but I am just going to buy a new laptop, because... Asus/Nvidia, this is just fucking ridiculous.
