Nvidia Problems Hit HP Desktops

Posted by timothy on Tuesday October 14, 2008 @12:44AM from the realm-of-the-plausible dept.

Barence writes "HP has revealed faults with 38 different models in its slimline PC range, sparking speculation that Nvidia's faulty GPU problems have spread beyond laptops. HP's official statement says the problems are 'attributable to the computer's motherboard" and that affected machines 'may not boot or may not display video' — the same kind of terminology used to describe the previous faults with laptop GPUs. Both HP and Nvidia have declined to comment. But in a filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) earlier this year, Nvidia admitted 'there can be no assurance that we will not discover defects in other MCP or GPU products.'" Note: the linked story (updated since this submission) says that Yes, the problems are now confirmed to be rooted in the Nvidia GPUs.

How did I get a -1 Troll mod?? I thought my post was at least civil. It's not like I was insulting the OP or anything. Now, if you want to give me a -1 offtopic mod, ok; Then that would at least be correct.
If you are going to mod, please mod properly. Otherwise, what's the point?

My guess is that your post seems to be tinged a bit with anger or frustration, so the mods interpreted it to be hostile. On top of it, some folks here really dislike grammar nazis for some reason.
I didn't take your post that way, but I see how some might.
As an aside, if you're going to be grammar nazi, you should really learn how to spell grammar. ;)
