The well known Dell + nVidia GPU problem

Hi,

Just wanted to know if there is something new with the problematic issue of certain dell laptops using nVidia GPU's?

I have to change my motherboard again, second time in the last 4 months....

 

Thanks,

Eran.

    HI, We have a Dell XPS M1530. Screen just went blank and won't come back.  I ran through the diagnotistics from the support site and nothing works.  Now waiting for Dell Tech Support.  This laptop came with a 256MB nVidia GeForce 8600M GT.  Common issue? 

    While waiting, I found this website:  http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=268081 which describes the problem.
