    Hi, i done a quick search and cant find a solution and as i only have minutes before my next freeze, this is my only solution!

    I flashed the new Vbios (solution for GSOD) and now my laptop (g73jh-a1) is freezing every...five to ten mins. The screen stays on, i just cannot move the curser and ctr alt del is ineefctual, i have to restart manually :S

    Any solutions?!

    those freezes are not from the vbios but probably from the driver you are using
    uninstall current driver and install latest 11.2

    Did you update the Bios to 211? If you're on something pre-209 you may run into problems.

    1) Make sure you update the BIOS to 209 or later. May as well do 213 while you are at it.

    2) Uninstall the old stock drivers, and update to 11.2 WHQL. If need be, uninstall the old ones from Safe Mode. The old stock drivers don't work with the new vbios well.
