    Probably the faulty nvidia die substrate issue. I’m amazed it lasted this long, most of those chips died long ago.

      Yeah, I’ve seen such stuff on old forums. Unfortunately, a replacement GPU would cost around €50, and that is just not worth it to try obviously.
      The CPU was €1.38 on AliExpress, so that was worth a try, but for the most part it just produced more heat

      Some different GPU would probably work there, but then again, I don’t know if it is a GPU issue. It wouldn’t even show any drive activity when attempting to boot.
