Dell will exchange it out with a new one if they can not fix it, make sure you call back and just ask for a exchange.

I've tried that too.The guys at the Escalation Department are just sitting on their butts looking for excuses on why not to work.The guy handling my case apparently works only 3 days a week(I want his job)!.They're looking for excuses on why NOT to exchange it.If I ask to speak to their boss, they come up with new excuses every single time. It's been over a month now and not a single thing has been resolved. I guess it was my biggest mistake to even THINK of buying a Dell, let alone getting one.

it is a precision m90 it comes with a standard 3 year warranty just have it fixed

They've tried fixing it more than once.Got this in April 2007.Logged my first Tech Support call in August. Since then, they've replaced the following:

Motherboard - 3,Graphics Card - 2/3(because one of the cards sent was DOA), LCD - 3, HDD - 1, Chassis - 1, LCD Frame - 1, Adapter - 2, Battery - 1, Bluetooth - 1 and maybe a few more things too that I don't remember at the moment. The system works after being fixed for about 4-10 days and fails again.

@85Damix Bake it. instructions on removal: /watch?v=TD6WDt-goiU the computer in the tutorial has the same chassis, except it's 15" instead of 17. 1.Set oven to 400 degrees. 2.PREHEAT ALL THE WAY!!! 3.Put card on cookie sheet (not metal pan, otherwise it will be stuck lol! 4.Leave it in there for 10 minutes. 5.Let cool on sheet still on counter, preferably for an hour or more. 6.Reinsert. 7.Startup and install I8kfanGUI, set to run fans full speed. 8.WEEEEE- [bzzt!]

[85Damix]

It does not work for me. The only thing I can see on my display is a white stripe. But when I diable cooling and remove cooler than when the card starts overheating itself I can see picture how it has to be but just for few seconds before its cook it self and turn off.

Is there any other way hoe to fix it ?

I was literally about to throw my old Inspiron 9600 out, when I did one last google on this frustrating broken Nvidia GPU problem (green lines displayed on screen immediately on bootup, almost unusable) when I found this and other YouTube videos on cooking the card, and am amazed to say it does work! Give it a try people and breathe some new life into your Dell as Dell and Nvidia refuse to help out and admit this model we own actually has this problem (I found out after a long fight with them!)

ok, what the bloody hell, where the hell on this video does it crash?

[HuggyDaBear]

i had exactly the same problem, (dell insipron 9400) Its the graphics card try the oven trick worked for me

[ferrucciog]

Anybody have applied the "oven fix" (baking video card in oven)? I found a lot of videos in Youtube that claims it works wonders for overheated video cards.
