    Hi all, I just got a G73JH-X3 the other day (refurb) and it seems to be working fine after going 213 bios, vbios apparently are pretty up to date (ending in 32) and I updated CCC to 11.11.

    Played L4D the other night, and it was fine until there were large mobs, at which point they all sort of stuttered like a big train as they ran together. That's at highest for most settings except 4X Anisotropic.

    The weird problem was last night playing RIFT (kind of a nice WoW alternative). Got about 3 or 4 hours in and my mouse cursor turned into a weird looking vertical line that may have been 'lifted' from some graphics in the game, somehow. A restart solved the problem.

    No OC, basic stock speeds with updated drivers, at least I think.

    That happened to me frequently while playing Starcraft 2 for long periods of hour. I was on bios 211, vbios 012.017.000.004 (stock) and 8.683-091217a-092929C on drivers.

    After flashing my bios to 213, my vbios to the 93vBIOSa and the drivers to 11.11, the problem on the mouse cursor didn't occur to me anymore.

    You might want to try re-installing your GPU drivers by following the instructions found in here. I skipped instructions #7 up to #11 as I find it not necessary in my case.

    Post it if that would work for you.
