Hi Matt! I was hoping to avoid that, seeing that the Solo is a notebook and everything is proprietary. I am not sure I can even get the case open, never having cracked this one before.

See if you can dig up a different video card and slap it in there. That's hopeless. The video card is most likely soldered in anyway. Anyone got a spare Gateway 9300 video card? > 4. Run mem check from one of your live linux distros. It won't get that far, it dies at the memory check in the POST.
