Screen Flickers or jagged line on boot, then fails to display, reboots all sort of errors listed, many tests and guess what the 30 day return policy, and warranty for life time on NVIDIA by name, not generic but honest NVidia 7300 Video cards is FAILING... VIDEO Problems and you have a NVidia (Name) card... junk it,
$123.95 and its junk... Now they say REMOVE and return with RMA request, and copy of original receipt, and we will have you a tested or new replacement in 4 to 6 weeks.... CRAP on NVidia Next time I'll buy from some store for more money and I can drive 65 to 125 miles and return for NEW...

OK Warranty is Voided..I removed the FAN which was jerking-failing-noisy... removed the NVIDIA sticky covers.. top..(nothing) removed the fan (3 small screws), removed the bottom cover, removed the rubber cover, removed the 2 small magnets, placed 1 drop of "special silicon lubricant" in the hole, moved the aperture with a probe, then fan moved smoothly... replaced all covers... "broken seal that voided warranty and restarted... no jerking, no jagged lines, no blotches of color... just fast boot and all seems AOK...
