Concerning the chips G84 and G86 (GeForce 8400 and 8600) – in the mobile versions, are installed in notebook PCs, they can przegrzewać on warm days, causing the failure. It is not excluded that the desktop versions of the GPU can cause problems, especially if cooled on the graphics card is a passive, and the interior of the casing is not adequately ventilated.

With the problems with graphics processors are not satisfied shareholders of the company – the news of the GPU przegrzewających caused a reduction in share prices of NVIDIA.
