Heyo everyone!

I have a G73 running great! I can play BF3 plugged in for hours, surf video, do anything and its amazing.

But...

Sometimes when on battery and watching youtube vids the whole screen gets corrupted like the video card died and I have to hard reset. At first I thought it was the vid card crapping out but im able to play BC3 on battery for hours and temps are totally fine.

Running latest Vbios with the OD mod and latest ATI drivers.

Anyone have any idea what this might be?

Thanks!

Try updating your Flash player, and any other plugins you use. Also check what clocks your vid card is running at when playing videos.

I actually had BSODs with Flash in the early days of the G73 but they went away long ago. This was on AC. I'm thinking newer drivers and Flash improvements remedied it. As for weirdness on battery, maybe you've found a new G73/5870 quirk.
