[QUOTE="rustyk123, post: 1404123, member: 99923"] This was while I was at work, which was fine weather, but if you look at the power at my house, I know there is I high risk there. I have a battery backup that runs my tv and my windows media center system, and if you look at the logs, it flips from AC to battery every few hours for low power, interference, etc. I have not looked at power conditions at my work, I should look into that. The only other cause I could see would be heat. This model was under an extend service for the video card which would overheat and come loose on the logic board. The chip in the picture that I caught the edge of was the video card. What seems to be more likely the cause, a hot video card around it, or a surge? [/QUOTE]
