[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1785148, member: 46727"] Actually, the video chipsets were good. It was the lousy environmentally correct solder being used (lead free) that was the main cause. The solder would separate slightly causing arcing and naturally that causes overheating and finally failure. That's why in some cases reflow would work but only temporarily. I believe they have since gone to a new method of bonding the video chipsets. Intel is also using better integration with the CPU, at least for their own video chips. [/QUOTE]
