    Many dots (sorta like very fine sand looking) starts to appear on my LCD when I drag a window and move it around. Or when some of the dialogue bubbles pop on and off.

    1) anybody have this problem? It must be the video chip since there are no dead pixels.
    2) I suspect that it might be due to heat but although I've constant data DL/UL, I didn't really use any extra CPU power. Also, I expect Sony to work even with moderate temperaure.
    3) Any suggestions on what should I do? I just rebooted the machine and the problem is GONE. This means that even if I ship it back to SONY, they might return saying "unable to duplicate problem"?

    :(
