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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

My notebook (Asus G2S) is using nVidia's 8600M (nVidia 8M serious) and the screen is failing me by white-washing the screen and making my notebook not function.

A month after purchasing a new computer (Gateway/AMD Quad-core, 6GB, 64-bit OS, Windows Vista), I decided to upgrade my graphics card to a Nvidia Geforce 9800 GT. From the very beginning I started getting the dreaded "nvlldmkm" display driver error message, even after updating with numerous Nvidia drivers. The current driver version is 186.18, which continues to randomly fail. According to the online forums I've read and multiple calls to Nviidia's tech support, there's no known remedy to this driver problem. Apparently it's a well known compatibility issue between Windows Vista and Nvidia's drivers, yet Nvidia continues to sell their product as Vista compatible.

I basically have the same laptop in the second model, but the graphics card keeps failing, and this is a known problem by Nvidia but Sony wont fix it for free and are asking for £500! No laptop for 2 days, spend 48hours trying to figure out the problem, all my work was on the laptop so at 1st was scarred it got wiped! many problems!
