    Good Morning,

    I have a question that may have been answered here, but I haven't been able to find it.

    I have an HP NW9440, 2gb memory, 256mb NVIDIA Quadro FX 1500m, Windows XP SP2 patched to latest release. Current BIOS, Firmware and video drivers.

    I'm running the games in 1680x1050 widescreen resolution.

    I have running several games and graphic intensive programs from an Seagat eSATA drive.

    What happens is that the screen will go out. Complete loss of video while using these applications, (City of Heroes, Vanguard, EQII, and a couple of Video display and review programs for CCTV video). This could happen within 20 minutes or a few hours. I've updated everything that I could possible think of, and still it's not fixed the problem.

    I believe it could be the Vid Processor overheating and shutting down, or a bad "spot" in the video memory, but I'm not sure. I've contacted HP and they are going to be replacing the motherboard, hopefully today.

    Anyone have any ideas? Has anyone run into this before and solved it?

    Thanks muchly.
