    Hi all,

    I recently swapped out my drive and reinstalled Windows. The stupid nVidia card is finally working as it should but the screen had some weird issue where it turns itself on/off as in it cycles - goes dark then turns back on like I selected "Power Display Off" in the FN+F3 window. It's not the first time that's happened - it used to do this occasionally when I pressed FN+F3 - but this time it actually locked the account and sent me to the Windows log-on screen. The drive stopped and restarted.

    Is it a known bug with Windows 7 that I should be aware of?

    Also, now that i'm done with the drive, I need to send the old one back. I got a sticker sheet with a packing slip and another one with IBM Corporation 180 Kost Rd. Carlisle, Pa on it in the upper left corner. Is that for me to keep?
