Up and running, then freezing or not booting. Read threads on the GPU and fixing it but never saw any pictures of the GPU, it's location, or where you'd have to heat to try to fix it. Might as well have a go.

Is that info/pics available somewhere?

Thanks

Remove the motherboard and look at this video. The GPU is the large chip near the CPU that says 'ATI' on it.
