Hi.

If it was working fine before the fall and you've reseated it then it's probably time to look at repairs, I had something similar happen to me with a Alienware X51 desktop falling from around the same height.

Take it somewhere that has working on Alienware computers before, you don't want a novice working on high performance tech.

Get them to check the motherboard too, it may be that's faulty and not the GPU (Mobo is a cheaper repair)

Silver lining is - If it's the GPU you can go for a higher replacement if you have the money...

One other thing to remember - Do you or your parents (sorry don't know your age) have home contents insurance????

If you do, you have a good chance of being able to claim the repairs on your home/contents insurance.

As the GTX780M is not longer in production, the insurance company will have to replace it with a current model GPU of similar power, they wont (and you shouldn't accept it) use a secondhand GPU because they will want a warranty on the item they replace, so potentially you could get a free upgrade to a GTX980M if you have insurance and play your cards right

Hi!

Thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunatelt though, my insurance coverage ended a year ago, so i think getting a free replacement or upgrade is out of the question. Also, I've tried looking for trustworthy repair shops, but it's hard to find one especially here in the Philippines. I even tried Dell centers but only refered me to tech support via toll free numbers which puts me on hold everytime. About the mobo, is there any way i can check it for damage myself?
