This worked for me... your mileage may vary. any time you get flaky motherboards that are newer style, this may indeed fix your issues. Newer junky PC laptops like acer, gateway, etc... all have some sort of motherboard problem, and this reflow on the CPU socket, and chipsets fixes them about 90% of the time.

Yea, I have a lappy with a 'defective' Nvidia GPU. (remember G86 and G84 core issues from 2007?(even macbooks were affected)) and a quick bake fixed it for now.(so then I watercooled it )A similar bake, however, did not fix my Lombard daughercard. I guess I should try a bit higher temp since I already have nothing to lose.
