    I have an area M7700 that came with a Nvidia Go 6800 Ultra GPU. Occassionally the screen will turn pixelized green and when on the net...pink. Sometime the problem occurs then immediately corrects itself...other times, the problem could last for hours. Mostly happens during WoW play. Any suggestions?

    Oh that weird Technicolor hippy thing. I've had that happen on Blizzard games since the original Diablo. EVERY blizzard game since then. Its weird but I've never been able to track down a cause.
