GPU dies for a few seconds in games

Hi guys,

I need help solving this problem. My laptop just started dying in games one day, also the day before that I was playing and everything was fine. It often happens that the FPS drops to 1 and lasts for a few seconds, then everything returns to normal but not for long. I looked through the utility and at this moment my video card is consuming almost no watts. I also watched the temperature but everything seems normal. I also thought that this could be known so I switched to Linux and tried to run there but the problem did not disappear although now I have 3 FPS at such moments. I honestly have no idea what happened. Has anyone had such a problem?

Nintendo DSI XL choice

Hi guys, I really want to buy my first DSI and I found these two for a good price(the first is 50€ and the second is 65€). But there are a few problems with them.

So fist looks great, but the game cartridge slot doesn't work. I'm gonna mod it, but still think it's not good, considering that maybe someday I would like to play a cartridge game. I watched a few videos on how to replace it, it seems to be hard.

The second is more attractive from the side, that it works properly, but the bottom screen is pretty scratched up, replacement is much easier than the first.

Which should I take and is the price ok or not ? Can someone help me ?
