Comment 27 for bug 1158689

Same here with nVidia GeForce 8400M G videocard in an Acer Aspire 7520 G laptop running Ubuntu 12.10 64bit AMD64. My first impression was a heat problem due to dust. So i cleaned the laptop fan and refitted the heatsink and heatpipes with new thermal (silver) contact paste, but the video-error reoccurs. When only two webpages are opened: no problem. Starting a Youtube video: screen is a mass, like Henrique Dias reported.

Is there a relation to the reported failure of nVidia GeForce 8 series?? http://news.cnet.com/8301-13924_3-10037632-64.html
