Dell XPS M1710 GeForce Go 7950GTX card failure (overheat)

"Probably will never buy a Dell computer again."

"While a problem with the solder is possible, the difficulty may be due to condensation from heating/cooling cycles with a card that runs too hot. Dell does not provide the cooling engineering in their units required for using this hot card. This is a manu"

"Computer is useless now"

"This problem is beyond a joke get it sorted"

"7900GTX is just as bad. Even with 18kfanGUI forcing (clean and dust-free) fans to max, I can't run anything 3D. Now it won't even boot unless in safe mode (the 'green speckles'). Come on Dell, help!"

"xps m1710 this issuse needs to be resolved, my temps are hitting 165F"

"i have an xps m1530 and is doing the same thing."

"I am sooo pissed about my faulty video card, i even did the oven trick, now there is no display. before i could hardly see because of all the bars and artifacts, dell needs to be held accountable."

"xps black screen will boot video card"

"Not a 7950GTX but a 7900GS"

"The first symptom was a crash that left the screen black and audio looping. Afterwards, vertical green lines, dots appear on bootup; followed by either a blue screen with nmi: parity error; or a blank screen while holding down the "fn" key. The dvi output"

"very sad"

"Completly overheated"

"Upgraded from a dodgy 7900gs to the 7950gtx. Screen artefacts and blue screens within a month of light use. Now all I can do is boot into safe mode, And even that doesn't respond well! I paid so much for this 'Pro Level' machine, yet look at the poor desi"

"have at least w Dell XPS computers w dual Nividia 7950 GTX's that have gone down - and remain out of service. Only come up in safe mode or after deleting Nvidia drivers - even after many Nvidia driver updates"

"third card now had to get extended warrenty"

"my XPS M1710 overheats and then shuts down."

"I've been through 6 (SIX) graphics cards, now dell have bumped up the price of the Warranty extension so the XPS is now a door stop"
