    Ok, I have now exhausted the company route with this issue.

    My graphics card seems to be dying. I cannot play any 3D games now, nor can I watch DVDs w/o lockups. There are random red/blue/green pixels on the screen -- these change places, so no stuck pixels. Also, the same effects show up on external monitor.

    I contacted Powernotebooks, and they referred me to Sager. Sager is offering to replace the graphics card in my NP5760 for $895. Ridiculous. I have the 7900 GTX 512MB card, and they claim than NONE of the cards for this machine are in production now, and all that remains in stock is the 7950 GTX.

    I did a quick search on Ebay and come up with a couple cards, but I would rather go through a vendor if possible.

    If anyone knows of a place that repairs these cards, or even sells replacements I would appreciate it.

    I thought I had read somewhere that Clevo had an ATI flavor graphics option for this laptop -- if anyone can confirm this, I would appreciate it.
