    Anybody try these yet?
    I have a GTX460M and I have issues playing vids on my TV where the screen goes black for 5-7 seconds and then the picture comes back. The issue is that it does this repeatedly during video playback. :mad:
    I fell back to 285.XX and everything is back to normal. :D

    so beware before you update!!

    I've done it a few times since I got the M15X. It's ok, but I do have a LOT of programs to re-install. Sheesh...Too much stuff.
