Please answer the above for us.Does it happen in Safe Mode.
Does the base of the netbook get hot when in use
YesIn theory, if I wanted and if the GPU just flat out dies soon, would it be a simple switch to move my hard drive from this to another nb505 (one with all of the exact same specs/hardware)??
Not significantly no.Also, out of curiosity: since this was a comparatively weak system for easily displaying high def. video, could I have possibly shortened the life of my GPU by watching too many 720p videos the last 2-3 years??
Oh, I'm always very grateful for the help I get here at geekstogo--I don't know what I'd do w/out these forums!You are welcome btw

Thank you
And as for the heat question, no--it doesn't ever feel hot. . . . That is a good sign.
For safe mode, I need to try that. Again, it's tricky b/c it only will happen at start-up as far as I can tell. . . . To check this out you will also need to use the computer as you normally would but kept in Safe Mode
Oh, and one more thing: any possibility this could be caused by cold temps. inside my house (we've been having heat problems and some mornings it's been 53-54 degrees F. indoors)? The two seem to have coincided, so that's why I ask.
Not likely as it would need to be circa sub zero to start having an affect, also keep in mind that the CPU and GPU heat up in a matter of seconds.
Thank you!

both artifacting and a loose or damaged video cable/ribbon are possible
If the Driver Verifier (DV) finds a violation, it will result in a BSOD

That is the correct procedure.Safe Mode was not an actual option that appeared in the boot options--it had to be done after Safe mode start up.
