I noticed that with the HDX16t to ): Hey if you guys have time could someone post some pics. There are really no good pics of this laptop on the internet.



One thing I wanna do is order recovery discs. NOT A FAN OF HP getting rid of recovery discs when you order.

Do you mean is there a fix to making the remote fit better in the laptop? Probably not? Is it stubborn and just wont go in gradually? Well I'd rather have this issue than like an Audio problem lol.

Occasionally my screen goes blank for 2-3 seconds and then comes back. Windows then says the nvidia driver stopped working but recovered.



I'm using 186.44, which I believe is the latest version. Windows 7 Ultimate x64. Anyone else experience this?
