I was directed over here by notebookreview forums because apparently you guys are way better at this kind of stuff. Here's my original post and data.
I have asked around in other threads, and I have partially fixed the colored screen of death with the 860M 4GB edition. Here is a summary of all relevant posts and what I have tried so far:
A10 unlocked BIOS (only disabled high definition audio)
i7 720QM
8GB RAM (stock clock)
2x500GB HDDs (no RAID)
1200p RGB LED monito
