I do not know of any "gpu upgrade frinedly" notebooks. While it may not be "impossible" to do, there are no user-friendly gpu upgrades. At best, you would have to invalidate the warranty. I believe that the only...

I don't believe so, but, if you can, it will be through your bios settings. Hit F-10 while booting up. I have a milder GPU (the Nvidia 7150M), and it does have 3 settings under bios, 32mb/64mb/128mb

Well, the bottom line is that they did take care of your issue to your advantage. I am glad that they did so, and I am also glad that you follow-up posted relating that...good for you! If I were in a similar situation, my first...

I am not sure of exactly the problem you are experiencing, but really, it doesn't matter, you are in luck... You are still well within the warranty period, so let HP make it right! Now, based on what the problem is, they may either...

If you have not done this yet, a good place to start is to get into the bios, and make sure that it is on the default settings. Have you been able to hit F-10 and access the bios successfully?
