Heat and high performance graphics on laptops
Posted by Alex in computer problems on October 2nd, 2009

In particular, laptops that are using the 8400M and 8600M chipsets based on the Nvidia G84 and G86 GPUs. Nvidia did acknowledge these faults last year, but claimed the problem only affected a small amount of graphics processor units (GPUs).
