    Hi Guys,

    It's been a year or so since i first got my Sager NP2092. Recently (past 3 months), my computer has started to randomly have a scattered screen (go fuzzy) and i will have to reboot. I think it is a memory/graphic/hardware problem. I see that it tends to do it when i'm watching tv shows on my computer and on photoshop. I haven't played games for a while, but im pretty sure it would do the same thing. My graphic card is no longer overclocked so that should be no problem and my computer isn't overheating.. Dos anyone have any suggestions?.. I searched the forum and i found some people with similar problems but not exactly what i was having. I'll try to take a picture of it when it happens but it happens at such random times.

    Please help!!!

    Remember that the 8600m had a manufacturing defect, it is bound to fail. It doesn't matter if the gpu is OC'ed or not as the chip already runs hot at stock clocks.
    You could try updating you drivers to see if it's not software related but if I was you I would RMA it.

    Okay, downloaded. I guess all i can do is wait. I have a question though, IF i were to RMA my 2092, should i go for the NP2096? I got my roomate to buy it and he likes it a lot so far but what are your suggestions? I have to see if i can RMA first.. because my uncle bought this laptop for me for my graduation gift and he works for Sager so i'm not sure how things work..

    If you do that, go for it, it should be a nice step up from the np2092.
