    hi guys, just to give you a good idea of what has been happening with my M17x.

    1. Hybrid SLI is enabled.
    2. I go to BIOS and unlink memory and fsb - Set to 1280.
    No problems there, system running stable for a week.

    3. Now I install Nvidia Performance Tool.
    4. I go to GPU, and move the clocks by 10 and test it with 3dmark06, Vantage, Furmark.
    5. I went on until I reached 650/1625/950. (core/shader/mem) - trying to maintain the 1:25 ratio.
    6. Happy with results so I saved this as lonzor.nsu.

    7. I do a restart (mydefault.nsu is in Startup folder)
    8. Came back to desktop, opened Nvidia Performance tool and chose Load - > lonzor.nsu
    9. boom. black screen.

    anybody knows what's causing this?
    Thanks.

    you increment by 10 until you reach your preferred clocks.. every time you boot windows? :confused:

    once you find your max clocks when you boot up just scroll up to them and apply dont worry about going 10 at a time
