The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
Well I overclocked my GPU and tested for about an hour on OCCT and had no problems. Then played Bad Company 2 on those settings. Following this I played wow and 2 seconds in it crashed with a BSOD.
I also looked around and it seems that whenever Nvidia implements the Nvlddmkm.sys into drivers this occurs a lot. Back in '09 around the 190series they had the same thing happening. You can see this by searching nvlddmkm and wow in any search engine and similar questions are being asked. It seems that the issue is something WoW uses for its graphics engine. At least thats what I am seeing. It also seems to be something with the optimus in that mixture because my brother is runnign the same drivers with his R1 and there are no problems.
This is why I posted a poll on another thread to check and see if any R2 users are running WoW just fine without the BSODs. If someone is running WoW with 270 drivers and not having issues then we are back at square one.
edit: sorry if this is a bunch of stuff thrown together, Its almost 4AM and I just finished a long project so I'm gonna get some sleep and see if this or the other thread gets any other suggestions in the morning.
Problems? See this thread at archive.org.
