    I have a Qosmio X305-Q705 laptop that has been running just fine until recently. It seems the display goes out suddenly more often than I would like. Is it possible the video card is failing? I have updated the NVidia drivers and tweaked the settings for performance and quality but it still happens. I'm not a gamer, use the laptop for basic stuff. I have built a half dozen PC's myself so I don't think replacing the card would be too difficult. Just looking for the opinion of others to whom this may have happened or what you guys think the problem may be. Thanks in advance.
