G73Jh Video Headaches - GSOD

I have been going through many of the posts already available and tried a number of the steps but have just gotten a tad overwhelmed and at a bit of a loss on what to do now.

Initially was having issues running Deus Ex: Human Revolution, but after updating the bios to 213, and following a guide on updating CCC and the video drivers it started to work reasonably well (not nearly as well as some people were reporting but well enough to play through so I just went with it). I was running Furmark at about midlevel settings (1280x720, MSAAx2) and getting to about 80C.
Out of the blue (about 10 days after my updating) I am getting the Grey Lines or just Black Screen in games, and a solid orange or blue colour screen when running Furmark for about 10 seconds, leading to a crash.

Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated. I don't think I have updated the vBios, though am not sure where to check which version I currently have.

Info from the CCC;
Driver Packaging Version: 8.753-100706m-102501C-ATI
Catalyst Version: 10.7
2D Driver Version: 8.01.01.1047
Direct3D Version: 8.14.10.0768
OpenGL Version: 6.14.10.10061
CCC Version: 2011.1025.2231.38573

 

Hawkell, you should update the VBIOS, this is needed to run the newer CCC drivers without issues.
to check VBIOS, you can see it in the BIOS, or install Hwinfo32 or hwinfo64
HWiNFO, HWiNFO32 & HWiNFO64 - Hardware Information and Analysis Tools
I have updated mine and Hwinfo32 shows: Video BIOS: 012.020.000.032.038352

 

Thanks for the info. Updated the VBios using the V93BIOSa. Been running Furmark with basic settings for about 20 min, running at 90C and 16fps. Seems a bit hot but isn't crashing at least.

 

90C in furmark is slightly hot, but nothing to worry about, your laptop probably only needs a good dusting, glad your GSOD days are over .
