600m video artifacts

[dethman]

i was using my 600m when suddenly i noticed several video artifacts like small lines appear on the screen. it got progressively worse until i couldn't see anything on the screen at all. when i reboot the computer, even the intial dell startup screen is full of artifacts. i now cannot use the computer. is this a video card failure? anything i can do to replace or am i completely out of luck???

Sounds like something fried, and no, there is nothing you yourself can do other than send it back to Dell.
