Desktop Computers - Dell warranty replaced Nvidia 9800 GeForce GX2 graphics card
Hooray, today the Dell Tech fixed the computer that has resided on the floor for the past five days. This was only accomplished after several highly intense phone calls but now all is well.
As suspected the problem was with the Nvidia 9800 GeForce GX2 graphics card. It had completely lost its ability to put its best face forward and instead showed strange albeit colorful flashing boxes and lines all over its 22 inch monitor.
This Nvidia graphics card is a monster. It is actually two graphics cards in one so the graphics as well as the speed is extremely good. Graphics will be seen that has seldom been seen before by many Internet gamers. The level of detail is amazing. First hand experience has proved this to be true.
Thank goodness there is an extended warranty on this computer. Even though all of the bickering back and forth was unfortunate the cost of this graphics card alone would have been between $400 and $500. This is not the first time an extended warranty has saved me money instead of costing me money.
I am not trying to sell the idea of extended warranties but if you do not want to afford a repair bill buy one. I buy Dell computers because of the onsite warranties they offer. In the end they have served me well.
