inlaws have an xps 420 or something like that
one of the overpriced beefy looking cases from dell with the cool tower lcd and all that shit
the video card shat the bed a few months ago, and it was covered under warranty
now the monitor has started to display polka dots/static at random intervals
almost like the the video card is cooking itself or something else is getting hot
sometimes the computer will still work, if you can see where the mouse is, etc
and sometimes it requires a hard boot
its the nvidia ge force 8800gt or something along those lines
i just dont want to recommend a new video card and then the problem is still there
any advice? out of warranty a month after the last card was replaced. the last time the monitor would not show anything at all.
