I am wondering if it is just the 32 meg cards that are affected or the 64 ones werent. If it is then it looks to be a design flaw. ATI should replace them for free. Anyone with a 64 meg card that were getting screen pixelations as well and had to replace them???

I've read the overheating issue. I dont think I have that problem. It started recently when the screen would get pixelated....lines would appear, disappear and reappear in diff spots...all in the meantime my pc is frozen. I have to reboot by doing a hard reset....aka holding the power button down. When I turn it on again, sometimes it comes on....sometimes I have to move the screen up and down or press certain parts around the laptop hard.  Then it would boot up again...it happens a lot now. I thought it was my cheapy memory but I've had the memory since I bought the laptop and upgraded the memory. I just want to know if it really is the graphics card. Is that what most ppl have problems with. Anyone replaced the grpahics card ? Did it fix the problem completely????

I dont think my graphics card overheated or melted anything b/c if it did it wouldnt be booting up any longer. it stays fine for quite a few hours sometimes, and sometimes for no more than 1 hour.
