Hello everyone,

I have a Samsung Notebook NP550P5C-S02IN running on Windows 8.1 64bit with Nvidia GT650M card.
Today while playing on AC power there was a power outage due to which the laptop stitched to battery power. I continued to play and after a while the game minimized and it showed battery 7% and then when I maximized the game the laptop went into sleep mode.
Then after 2 hours when the power was back I turned on the laptop and it resumed, the game was open and I could continue normally, so I continued to play when suddenly after about 5 minutes the screen became crazy, there was heavy artifact on the display.
I quit the game and the screen went back to normal. Then I started the game using on board Intel graphic and it was working fine. So I uninstalled Nvidia Driver and re-installed the latest driver but the issue still persists.
Then I contacted Nvidia chat support who suggested a hardware failure and wants me to contact the manufacturer of laptop. But my laptop went out of warranty this July. And having to replace a GFX card would cost a bomb. So kindly suggest any solution or alternative steps that I can take.
I took a video to explain the problem. If any other details are required then I would post them ASAP.
