My laptop suddenly artifacts at random times even at minimal usage... I didn't change anything hardware/software in the past months... only thing noteworthy to say is that i had a gpu reflow last March but it worked without problem just up until now.

What is the probable cause? Laptop is beyond warranty as it is a 2008 r61i lenovo thinkpad

update: Gpu running at 74c, my GPU is Nvidia Quadro 140M

it can still run anyways, is it really toast or can it still be saved?
