    My personal cf30 has been giving me issues for about 6 mo occasionally it would give screen artifacts or freezing

    Sometimes the screen would basically keep going left really quick and i had to hard restart it

    Those issues were rare so it didnt bother me that much

    However the main issue was that upon startup it would just sit there for a while basically not respond for a little while and having an SSD and 4GB ram i knew it was not related to those components

    Well after reworking the gpu chip it is instantly available to use after logging in

    Just FYI for any of you all that have similar issues
