    When i first purchased my G73JH i updated the bios and Vbios to eliminate GSOD. Well thats worked until now.

    I play WoW on the Setting below Ultra with shadows turned to low. Lately i have gotten 3 Gray screens during random gameplay. I cant tab out or anything it just goes gray and i have to remove battery and power supply plug and let cool. Then if its cool i can plug all back in and boot up normally.

    There are no artifacts or lines before it goes gray it just does it. Its always seemed to be after quite a bit of gameplay.

    So i guess i either need to RMA or do a repaste myself. Im confident in my ability to do so. But the wifes not lol. So i guess if no one has any ideas i'll see if i even can RMA or else im up for a repaste.

    thanks for any help

    Sounds more like a overheat issue. Ever blow out your vents?

    It would help more to have a log of your temps while under load, not after the reset. :) If those are your GPU idle temps, then you are running a bit warm, even for the CPU too.
