That computer was released in 2010 so I presume you purchased back there meaning the warranty has expired. It is a simple job to install a video card, your problem will be finding one with a low profile to suit the case if it turns out to be a faulty onboard video. Tigerdirect has a selection, there is one on sale at half price and with good reviews. Not promoting Tigerdirect, just using them as an example of what is on the market. Stay away from the higher priced ones because your power supply is likely not powerfull enough to handle them, nor are there likely to be the added power connections the higher end cards require to work.

I will never recommend a Rudd nor a Rheem. I have two repairs to do on two Rheems. Both are RRKA/RRMA series. Each approximately 10 years old. The heat exchanger and control board on one. It took the longest time to get the old heat exchanger out. And, the second needs a coil among other things. The distributor/parts house have to order the coil and it will take two weeks for delivery. I looked at another failed system on Friday. It was a 13 year old Rheem, model RPGB. This one will be replaced. I will chose a Goodman 9 times out of 10 over any other brand. Goodman's parts are readily available. They are easy to work on. And, the warranty is excellent. For the record, my least favorite is Lennox.

Okay really stupid question here... I just bought some very nice Matouk Milagro bath towels and the care instructions say to wash on "Gentle cycle". Would anyone hazard a guess what the equivalent cycle would be on our Miele W48XX machines? Delicates has a very infrequent tumble, as does Woolens and Handwash. I use Wrinkle-Free for most of my everyday loads. I want to make sure I follow the care label on these expensive items. Any ideas?

Check your manual, and see if there is a way to re-calibrate your sensor. You washer is behaving like it is supposed to. The displayed time at the beginning of the cycle is only an average time. One set of sheets is certainly not a heavy load. Seems to me the sensor is too sensitive. But I am just guessing, here. While I am here. I will caution most of you about Quick washes and Normal cycles. Quick wash is NOT meant for regular washing. The main wash is too short. Front loaders take longer to do the same job as the old thrashing top loaders did in a short amount of time. Sheets, especially, need a longer time to remove the unseen body soil. Normal cycles are what the Energy Guide and Star are based on. The majority of customers will use Normal and think nothing of it. Normal cycles are "dumbed down" Meaning, the water temperatures are much cooler than selected. Hot fill on a Normal cycle of most every modern front loader is only about 90F. Thats barely warm. Rinse water levels on normal are also extremely low. Resulting in bad rinsing. Using Normal cycle will only give you comparable results to a top loader. I know the other cycles are longer. It can take adjusting, but the results will speak for themselves. Cycles like Heavy duty, Whites, Sheet/Towels, Sanitize, will provide a hotter target temperature, better rinsing, and more through cleaning. Just keep in mind that it takes high efficiency washers longer to clean such a large capacity of laundry, too. It takes much longer to clean a 20 pound load versus a 10 pound load.
