Graphic Card Problem May Affect Millions of Computers

Robert of Ponte Vedra Beach, FL November 23, 2009

The nVidia 8M series graphicHols card installed in my top-of-the-line HP notebook has failed 16 months after purchasing it directly from HP. The screen only displays 100s of multi-colored lines. HP has refused to replace the video card and/or motherboard because the laptop is 4 months out of warranty unless I pay 400 for the service.

John of Johannesburg, South Africa November 21, 2009

I have a Fujitsu siemens Amilo. The screen randomly makes lines and or swiches of. sometimes stalling the mechine. The problem has been looked at by the agents, who quoted R13000 (1800 US) to fix it. Based on what your saing, I am convinced it is the graphics card, that just so happens to be a Nvidia.

I bought a laptop with one of their graphics cards. It is a gforce8m series and it overheats and messes up all the time

Alex of Boiling Springs, SC November 3, 2009

I bought an HP laptop in May of 2008. Just after the warranty expired, the graphics card failed. I have since discovered that the card (Nvidia GeForce 8600M GS series)has had many problems. Both Nvidia and HP refuse to repair unless I pay. Because Nvidia has acknowledged problems with this card, they should be held responsible for repairing these defective units. 1500 laptop rendered useless. 400 cost to repair if I choose to pay.

Nvidia Quadro FX Go 1400 card failed 2 months out of warranty

Hasani of Lawrenceville, GA September 30, 2009

Without warning my graphics card failed, causing colored lines to fill my screen. I use the 8m series of nvidia cards and this is actually the second time his has occurred on the same pc. The first was within a year of owning the pc and was repaired due to being under warranty. This time however, I appear to be on my own.

nvidia 8600m gs graphics card imminent failure due to manufacture problems in the graphics card in my hp dv9548us computer have looked it up and it is a rising problem among many computers with this graphics card please help

Alper of Delray Beach, FL August 8, 2009

I have Dell Precision M90 and the GPU overheated and is not functioning any more. Dell refuses to services it since it is out warranty. Nvidia denies the heating problems. My dad's Nvidia just died last week.

Brigid of Baltimore, MD August 5, 2009

I have a Nvidia GeForce 8M series graphics card. I've only had my computer for two years and it can no longer be used because of problems with this graphics card. I believe that it has failed prematurely.

Cyd of Arden, NC July 25, 2009

My Acer Aspire laptop, all of 1.5 years old, suddenly has no display. Upon doing some research, I realized that the issue is the video card (nVidia GEForce 8400M) which has been experiencing high failure rates. I have no recourse, as my laptop is out of warranty. One and a half years is unacceptable-I have a laptop (the one I replaced with the dead one) that is easily 2+ years older and is still working!
