another one who mixed the 2 issues...

that SXPS is a separate issue...

and find ur own driver if Dell dun update it...

How can we know that the laptops that using the next graphic card after 8400 and 8600 will not having the same problem?

my 8600gs died on me last year on my BenQ S41... still running fine after the replacement

Guys does the latest 9300M GS and 9500M GS have overheat problems? Cuz they are the successors of 8400M and 8600M respetively right?

haiz ....
actually all GC had the probability of getting overheat. It depend on the user.
Dont worried i'm trying on the SXPS 16 ! may be my GC is the only one faulty from ATI or from Dell.
So far i had tested ... no problem with my gaming software. Last one is the Driver and GC.

I heard alot ppl get scold 8400 GS. for those unknown ppl, they using 8400GS never facing overheating issue.
as my roommate, he never believe that inpsiron 8400GS will overheat. almost 8 months using it, no problem at all.
my relative using 8600GT from acer aspire (06-07) ddint facing any overheat issue

hard to said ~ bcoz world wide many ppl facing such issue ~
ATI also not very good, the driver issue. wish SXPS use ATI 4870 or 9800GT.
Overheat never mind, Dell will replace as long the warranty is still there.

I heard from Dell technician that Dell update XPS 13 bios that will prevent teh GC overheat but while you playing the game, u will facing lagging !! Having a fun lagging game ~

hello i have a 8600m gt now it started overheating like crazy from the last 2 months my laptop is 9 months old. what can i do please tell me?

should i get a notebook cooler? i am still under wrty.
but i need to use my laptop everyday i dont have a desktop or any secondary laptop.

If i contact acer now what will they do will they replace my 8600m gt with a new 8600m gt? but that will be the same problem right? even if they replace to 9500m gs.

Or Will they send me a new laptop? plz tell what will they do to reapir?

Also Another problem is i replaced my optical drive in my laptop and in doing so i lost a screw will it void my wrty? will i be able to claim wrty?

plz reply soon

Try to get table fan to blow ur laptop, i dun think there is any cooler can help to cold down laptop heat. 1 more thing is gc cant be replace, once spoil will replace a new 1 with motherboard.

hmm i've a ASUS Z53S with the 8600M GS card. bought it in August 2007. play with overclocks alot. coz my card's speeds were downclocked to Core:500/Mem:400.

was it a countermeasure against this issue or did ASUS do it just to give more battery life and reduce the hassle to provide better cooling? o_O

Um i am planning to buy a macbook which using nvidia geforce 8400 as the video card....so should i buy it as u say these do spoil in one year more?

u can try ur luck, my fren's dell 1420 gforce8400 die after 6months.

better not take the risk...since its a macbook...

Wah... didn't get to see this thread !!!

My laptop use 8400m die after 1 year of usage. Luckly it still under warranty with Dell. Hopefully it will not die again.

Just avoid this gc for ur own good. U have been warned.

Maybe MOD can put this thread on the top/sticky to make sure buyers aware of it and not been fool by the major/big company like Nvidia/HP/Dell/etc.

Too much of repetitive questions above.

Please read this topic from the first post. All the answers are there.

mine juz died...about 1 year and 4 months.. shytty GPU..is this got to blame Dell or NVdia?

blame nvidia for mass producing it xD

i owned a 1420 8400M GS 128MB, i just have the GPU problem recently ... lucky is still under warranty. if not i gonna cry already. i call dell, they come my house and replace the motherboard for me ... but what is, the warranty is ending soon. GGness. The tempreture for browsing internet and listen to music is 64 - 63. is it too high ? but for my advise is, if u owned this lappy, PLEASE DUN PLAY GAME USING THIS LAPTOP. after change the motherboard the display output on the monitor is not working, dono what is wrong. i mean after pressing Fn+F8. (Just Using 9 month).
