This is an example of the error I get on my Dell XPS M1330. It occurs in both Windows Vista and Ubuntu 8.04.

Video Card: 128MB NVidia GeForce 8400M GS
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo T7500 (2.2Ghz/800MHz FSB, 4M L2 Cache)
RAM: 4GB, DDR2, 667MHz 2dimm

  • I didn't do any overclocking. This happened with factory settings. Anyways, Dell replaced the video card (which means replacing the motherboard) and everything seems to be working fine.

  • it's actually not dells problem it's nvidia's high end gpu's with the fan not distrabuting the heat enough so this causes a major problem with the graphic card and then it's dead...same thing happenes on a hp laptop..dell has made some updates to change the bios profile to speed the fans speed up

  • m1330 user here. this is strictly an nvidia geforce problem. Intel GMA users will not experience this problem. This case has been documented with dell and nvidia.

  • @Nishbot 

  • anyone have resolved this issue?

  • get a heatgun and heat up the gpu this will met the solder in place

    if warranted have dell deal with this

  • yuppers... the first time it happened i was like 'what the freak?!?!' i notice that if i place gentle pressure on the laptop where i normally type, using the palm of my right hand, i could cause the lines that would appear to appear and disappear.. which makes me wonder if the motherboard is very sensitive or intolerant to flexing. I have noticed the computer overheating more than normal too.

  • after many calls with Dell I finally got them to replace my mobo / video card. a pain to send it in but it is working much better-- for now..

  • i'm having the same problem. How did you resolve this issue?

  • does anyone else get patches of "pixels" and then find it freezes, crashes, and then won't reboot?!

  • dude i think this is from ur video card....i have 8400 gs too and i get that same
