Sorry, I don't know about the CUDA button. Where is it on an 8500? Is it a sort of master-reset?

It's a small red or brown button, usually near the processor slot or even under the processor card. You may need to use a pencil to push it. Any time you add or remove anything from the logic board it should be pushed, with the computer powered off. Opinions vary on how long to push it, but 10 seconds seems long enough. Often pushing it solves issues, but it's one of the last steps to take in most cases.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but the button resets the CUDA chip(?), which stores parameter RAM, has something to do with power on/off and ADB.
