Do you own or have you owned a Dell XPS M1710 with a graphics card GeForceGo 7950GTX? Has the graphics card failed due to over heating which has caused the memory to be damaged.

If it has your not alone. There are thousands of people with this exact same problem. After numerous card replacements which isn't cheap and phone calls to Dell, they aren't willing to do anything about the problem.

Please sign this petition and hopefully with enough people DELL may recognise that there is a serious problem with the overheating of this card and the poor design which restricts are flow may RECALL all GeForceGo 7950GTX graphics cards.

Thankyou for signing this petition.

    • My second card just failed today. Oh, and by the way, Dell charged me for the replacement of my first card BEFORE I sent them my laptop.

    • Dell are now saying that it's going to be a two week wait for a new MB and Graphics card, because of a global backlog with these parts.

    • I have spent over 3400 originally for this xps and another 1500 for repairs, paid directly to dell. I have only purchased dell in the past. I would like to continue to do such. Thanx
