    Hey.
    Saw a huge thread about this but it seems a little different for me but im not sure.

    My computer have started to freeze for no reason, just have music on and im in the kitchen doing food and all of the sudden he music is stuck and i cant do anything on the laptop, anything that fixes it is a reboot with the power button.

    ANy suggestions what it could be?
    happens at least 1 time a day and 3-4 times yesterday.

    Windows 7 64bit, not much installed at all at the moment.

    And also my GTA 4 and Counter strike source lagged? is wrong...

    dont have a clue what vbios is to be honest, yes i think i have the latest bios installed, double checking now

    oh hehe
    i had bios 205 :)
    upgraded now so will see if that helps, installd 209 then 211
    sorry just found what vbios was :p
    is it good to install the vbios from here? :)

    Should this bios upgrade fix the lag in games i´ve experienced or what you guys think?

    definetely yes!
    I also had bios 205. Then upgraded to 209 then 211.
    I then flashed the vbios + installed Catalyst version 11.2 + updated a few drivers found in the Chastity drivers reference page.
    Good luck.
