And just like that, the GPU started failing its tests… either the faulty socket is causing this or it’s there’s more than just a socket problem…
I do believe she’s dead.

That being said, you have the ability of throwing a 4GB DIMM into the the healthy slot, which should be enough for most purposes. Good luck.

FWIW, I ran the results and it booted to the Diagnostics fine and I opened up the box to take a look to see if the fan was running (and it was). However, when running the diagnostics, I reliably get an error on Socket 1. I changed the memory sticks into alternate sockets but I get the same error. Anyone else agree that it sounds like RAM Socket 1 is hosed and only repairable via a system board replacement? Or is there a slim hope that new RAM sticks may fix this issue, even though swapping them around didn’t move the failure to Socket 2. Thanks much to everyone for the help!
