    Hi guys

    Having two problems recently.

    First one: my screen flickers from time to time showing little squares magenta yellow and greenish colors. They are about 1 cm and they dissapear quickly i can barely see them, i have 16 months of warranty left and if its the video card i would like to change it before the warranty expires. Its once every 1-2 hours, tried upgrading my 8600m gt video card with the latest driver from nvidia and it says that it can't find the proper video card even thought hte driver is for the 8m series.

    Second one: I am trying to connect my bluetooth headphones to my built in bt, it can see the hp clearly but they don't appear as a playback device in sounds so i can't use the headphones. The pairing is fine, i have an alps stack, installed their driver and the toshiba stack application and it still doesn t work.

    Thanks
