After installing Mathematica 6 and programming some group-mechanical 3D-manipulations the nvidia go graphics chip of my Samsung laptop stopped working at the performance of a complex 3d-manipulation. Its internal digital lcd-part gave up with a crack noise. The external analog VGA is still working. On the internet, some hints can be found saying that certain laptop computers are in danger to burn their graphics chips because of insufficent cooling under high permanent load. -- Roland Franzius
