Why nvidia chips defective

If you own a laptop computer with Nvidia chips and you haven't registered it with the hardware vendor, I suggest doing so. This way they can contact you if need be, and it can only help grease the wheels should you need warranty repair.

Some motherboards have thermometers for measuring and reporting the temperature. Try to contact the hardware vendor to see if they offer software that you can use to watch the internal temperature. I use the free HD Tune to watch the temperature in hard disks but the hard disk might be nowhere near the Nvidia chips. The System Information for Windows program can also display some temperatures.

Still, the best monitoring is probably with software from the motherboard or computer manufacturer, if they offer it. Be aware of where the vents are and make sure they aren't blocked. Also, check for dust on the fan and remove any that's there.

Go to the Power options in the Control Panel and make sure that all the available power management facilities are being used. They include powering down the hard disk after a period of inactivity as well as CPU power management. And, of course, the most important advice of all, backup your important files to some place outside your computer.

Locally resident backups on an external hard disk or a USB flash drive are a great starting point. Update August 20, A reader with a ThinkPad T61 laptop computer wrote to tell me that the fan runs all the time. Update September 10, A lawsuit broke out. See Lawsuit alleges Nvidia hid chip defects.

Here's a note from Nvidia to their partners : NVIDIA is committed to providing our customers with quality products that push the edge of technology and also continuously improve product quality and reliability.

This is also an ecological disaster and a lot of waste. So, don't give up just because your vendor tells you it's out of warranty, trying to sell you another disposable! Good luck all!

So, you have a defective chip? You are right when you say contact the vendor. Therefore, this post has nothing to do on this site as it is publicity and is against forum rules.

Now, this doesn't mean what he is doing is right or wrong. This means that what he is doing is not tolerable on this forum because it is advertising. I also agree with you that if you could replace a part in the laptop, it would greatly improve its lifespan. Once again, as i stated before in an earlier post, this is not NVidia's fault. Laptops are done like that, and you can't sue anyone for that It's like saying i'll sue Dodge because when you had your accident you had a scratch on your door, and instead of doing a paint job or repairing it if they could , they replace the whole door.

They just can't, that's the way it is. If it lasts longer, great. If shorter, check your warranty. Now this is any piece of hardware. Laptops have a serious disadvantage as most of the hardware in them is attached to the mobo. OK Hexen, but what you say here is also off-topic. Don't try to convince them that it's just normal and there's nothing else they can do but buying another laptop. This is only true in countries where there's no consumer protection. Choub, there's no flaming, insults or obscene language, copyright infringements, and no spam or advertising here.

Did you see someone suggesting the use of a competitor's product or a link to a competitor's website? This topic is only help for users with a defective Nvidia GPU. And this is a forum for Nvidia users. We are only talking about Nvidia hardware in this topic not Nvidia services or drivers. Please read the rules before telling Lapcure made something that is not tolerable on this forum. And here you can learn what advertising means.

Most customers buy their laptop in a third-party retail shop. We are not talking about a common failure where you have to use your warranty or extended warranty. We are talking about defective products. Best regards. I was just stating a fact, not insinuating anything else. I own one of these "defective" laptops too. Do it else where. There is absolutely nothing any person on these forums, or an employee of NVIDIA, could do to assist you in this matter.

It is entirely upon the company that made the notebook to provide you with support, based upon whatever their established support policies are. This entire discussion is not relevant to these forums.

We are actively seeking resolution through the Small Claims Courts against retailers who are refusing to swap out laptops that contain one of the defective chips.

We have had a large number of successes against retailers who sought to refuse to recognise that these laptops are inherently defective. We have started a forum dedicated to this very issue. Thank you for reading. All Results.
