yeah I did before it got completely fucked and it didnt seem to help

it is definitely a graphics card based problem since I can get my computer to run in normal mode by literally turning off my monitor but as soon as I turn it back on and something "animates" on the screen it throws up weird graphical glitches and bluescreens, thankfully safe mode is usable so I dont have to post by literally using the force and guessing where the buttons are without a monitor lmao

I will call up alienware tomorrow and ask for new parts from crashed ufos
