    There was a problem in m17xr2, in 3-5 minutes in games brakes begin. As though tension of a current and GPU loading of 83-95 % falls, but frequency of a kernel and memory doesn't fall! I can tell with confidence that it not GPU and CPU trottling, I checked it. Whether it is possible that it is a chipset problem, it is heated to 67 degrees?
    There can be knowing people will prompt something? Any ideas are welcomed!: Hi2:

    My CPU 920xm, also tried with 840qm; GPU GTX 680m 4gb, also tried with 6990m and 5870m crossfirex; OCZ VERTEX 4 256 also tried with RAID 0 2x500 gb, 480 watt pcu (2x240), also tried simply 240 watt pcu, 8gb ram checked separately each level!

    Sounds like the same issue i'm having only I have a nvidia 260m. Have you tried the following.

    : apply new thermal compound to the gpu
    : clean the heatsink & fan
    : reseat the video card
    : reseat memory cards
    : clean the registry
    : Install updated drivers

    Yes, I already made all this. It seems to me these are tension problems on the motherboard.

    U2WAR, at you this problem is present or you solved it?

    I established Windows 7 anew, didn't help! Tried with the AMD and Geforce cards with different drivers, the problem remains.
