    The 140m quadro uses a G86m core, which is one of the defective cores in question.

    The story has hit The Inquirer and /. Looks like a big deal indeed. Anybody know what--if anything--Lenovo plans to do about it?

    It doesent seem to be much of a problem for the 140 though, at least from what i can tell. There are alot of cats that are overclocking this gpu. I have never heard of a failure. I wouldnt worry about it.

    My R61 with the NVS 140m works great. Even pulled off a hearty 3dMark06 score with it. (in sig)

    I have a T61 (bought in Aug 2007) with Nvidia NVS Quadro 140M. I am consistently having display problems with the screen suddenly going green (?). On restart the BIOS itself shows a corrupted image (half screen blue, half red) and some random characters. This only happens if I use the PC over 15 mins. Once it gets a chance to cool down, it goes back to normal working condition.

    My warranty expired around one month ago and ever since I am seeing this problem. Can someone suggest what could be going wrong.

    Thanks.
