I've come to an impasse here. For the next couple of weeks, I'm expecting to put my g73 under a heavy work load over the night.
I work the days as a environment designer and lay out the skeletal framework, backdrops, and set pieces during the day and was expecting to render everything in the night on my g73.
Unfortunately, I discovered that my g73 commonly locks up overnight. I turn off the screen with FN + F7, and 8 hours later discover that it's always unresponsive or locked up. The only thing I can really tell from the machine, is the fan operates at a very low frequency and the service panel is very cool which leads me to believe that perhaps the machine devolts itself to a state where it's inoperable?
This is extremely annoying as I really don't want to spend more time than I already do on working during the day, even more as to I do not want to render during the free time I allot myself. I've uninstalled and reinstalled 11.1~11.5 drivers, reflashed my bios to 209, removed and installed microsoft framework packages.
If anyone has experienced anything like this, I'd love to know your workaround.

Did you disable sleep/hibernate? Is it running in High Performance mode?
-
Yes, make sure that under power options in the control panel that you set it to never sleep.
-
I've set it to never sleep, display, turn off HD, and even dim display.
Yes, running in high performance. -
also disable hibernation (when closing the lid)
-
Also, make sure it doesn't power down the HDD's

if you have microsoft silverlight, uninstall it. I had this problem till I removed silverlight, but have no other reason to blame silverlight other than removing it coincided with my problem going away

I've taken all the advice, I'll test it for a few minutes.
