    Hey guys, I've got a VGN-NR32S with the 8400GT graphics card. One day during use the screen would suddenly turn different colours making the system unusable. What I mean by this is when I moved the mouse you would see permanent trailing/ghosting that would block that part of the screen, then the screen would just display 1.5cm by 3mm rectangles all over the screen with differing colours.

    Turning it off and back on would usually fix the problem but as time went on the problem got worse and now it instantly does that as soon as I boot up the system, before I noticed that the effect would take longer to appear when I took the battery out and was able to keep the laptop warmer although it could just be that it was entirely coincidental. At the moment I'm unable to use the system due to nothing being displayed on the screen apart from weird colours.

    Is this due to the 8400GT or is it something entirely different? Also, does anyone here know of any place that could fix the problem I'm experiencing within the UK? Thanks in advance.
