It has been reported that laptops containing Nvidia G84 & G86 chips (encompassing 8600M GT) have been found to have a high rate of failure due to the material used for chip packaging. The problem seems to affect all chips manufactured and isn't limited to a specific batch.

Since some of system76's systems include gpus affected by this issue, I thought I would bring it up as a possible issue.
