Nvidia Problems Hit HP Desktops

Posted by timothy on 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.

    In their original filing to the sec they clearly state 'There can be no assurance that we will not discover defects in other MCP or GPU products.'. Also, they do not specify a closed list, but just that so far notebook MCP/GPU have been found detective, thus if they've used them in their slimline pc range, it's not really any news...

    I for one welcome our "grammernazi" overlords.
