Let's say this worked before. It is very rare to see any driver to fail over time like this.

But I am encountering older machines that folk are writing about issues like the one you noted. As I go over the basics we find they never cleaned the heatsinks or replaced the dried out heatsink compound.

Many machines never get this done.
