    Hi all,


    Lenovo W700 Good Deal or Not

    <O:p</O:p
    This is for all the Autodesk Users out there, you need to wash this Video before you buy the W700. This is what I got for over $7000.00


    <O :p</O :p
    This thing has ben in and out of repair, Lenovo said they can’t find a hardware problem. Even though all the errors state, the hardware has stopped working.



    What do you think?<O :p</O :p

    it's your video driver.   that's happened to me a few times over the last two years with two different FX 4800s.   nvidia said each time that it was the driver and i believe them.

    once i find a stable version of an nvidia driver, i make a note of it.   if i upgrade and the new one crashes, i go back to the previous known-good version.

    try a different driver.   specifically, try a non-ISV driver.
