Not an Exciting New Look

This laptop has went from outstanding, to demoralizing. I’ve had a tech come out to replace the LCD, GFX Chip, MOBO, RAM… Problems still showed up… So I sent in the laptop to dell and got my laptop cover dinged up, a new GFX Chip, LCD, MOBO, and even a Keyboard!!

A week later, the plague continues… ;’(

I thought I’d clean and reformat, one more time, to see if it was something else (Because it does this on an external monitor now)… No luck.

I even have a really interesting effect, sometimes, when I try to boot up. Either, RIGHT after I power up, I get a white screen, or I get a grey screen that does a little visual dance for me. That visual dance is black “bleeding” onto the screen… O_o

Let’s see what dell has me do now (edit: They had no idea).

Edit: Looks like this madness was probably caused by a driver issue. I finished reformatting and it looked to have cleared the issue. I won’t hold my breath though.
