XPS M1710 Graphics Error
Hey everyone,
I'm finally posting in this forum after all the times that I've come here looking for help with my XPS M1710 because I'm finally stumped and have no idea what I should do. While I was playing a game the screen just kinda got grainy and locked up. So everytime i turn the computer on there are red grainy vertical lines around the Dell logo and I can't get into windows because the screen gets all grainy and then goes black. I found out that I could boot up fine in safe mode, and I disabled my Nvidia graphics card and now for some reason I can boot up fine in windows, but obviously I can't play any games or anything that you need a video card for.
I am worried that its because my video card got too hot over the past week; I found out my computer was crashing due to overheating so i cleaned out all the heatsinks, which dropped the temp, (I used I8kfanGUI to monitor the temp) but now it just randomly is freaking out. My worst fear is that I'd have to buy another one because idk how i would get one.

Error Code 5300:0119
Msg detected a failure while writing and reading video memory. Video Mode: 4h (320x200x4). Address 138044h, expected to read 0h but read 40004h instead.
Then I ended up getting another error message for practically every resolution above this one, I don't believe there was one that went through.
