"No signal" when using HP desktop computer with GT230 installed

Having bought recently the great HP Elite 7000 MT desktop solution, I found out very soon that there is something wrong with it.

If you played PC games or used any other content heavy on graphic card resources... your screen would just turn black and say "No Signal".

Well looks like I was not the only one, because here on this HP forum, you can see that there are several other ppl with the same problem.

Looks like there is problem with the Pegatron GT230 (Nvidia based) graphic card and replacement of the card is the only solution. Even if your serviceman tries to make an ass of you by helping you with: "Update the drivers" recommendation... you should really insist on repleacement if you have the GT230 on your HP Solution. First you can of course  try to update the drivers, but there is a high chance that you have the faulty line of the graphic card.
