My husband and I both have HP laptops that have graphics card issues. I have a Pavilion g7 that is 2 years old and the integrated Intel HD graphics are failing (the screen white-outs 20-30 times over a 3-hour period, making it impossible to do any useful work). I don't know if this is a graphics card problem or an HP problem, but I would like to avoid a repeat.
