    If you have a G84 or G86 GPU 8400, 8600, then you have a defective GPU. Check my post here:
    I have a G1s with the Nvidia defect GPU 8600m GT and I went after ASUS and finally got them to give me a replacement laptop. (G50V-X1). Most of my info is on the nvidiadefect forum.

    The Nvidia Defect Forum • View topic - G1s failed 8600m gt replacement board

    It also has a picture of the "new reworked gpu" however no one is coming forth to say what excalty was done to make this better.

    Keep after them. Be patancent, fare, and honest in persuning them and you should get some satisfaction.
