    Hey, wondering if anyone has any ideas for me here. I have a 8 month old R2, and in the past month or so, the nvidia gpu will randomly dissappear from the system. In device manager there is nothing, not even a "?" item, and if you try to open the nvida tray icon it says no nvidia gpu is attached to the system. After several re-starts it will come back, but its only a matter of time before its gone again. I've tried dell's tech support numerous times, but they are completely useless. They even sent someone out who replaced the motherboard, and re-installed the OS but it still does it. It even did it while the 'tech' was here, but he just shrugged. I'm at a loss here, any suggestions?
