    I'm curious as to whether anyone else is experiencing the same thing on their G73JH.

    I have updated my vBios (Chastity's) and latest Bios, and GSOD's were a thing of the past, then around Catalyst 11 or 12 I started getting them again occasionally when gaming. I have overdrive enabled and set to 805/1000.

    I tried adjusting clocks on memory and core to no effect, then noticed it only happened when I had been watching a video (either in browser or via VLC player etc) then played a game.

    If I boot fresh and play a game I never get a GSOD.

    No idea why this happens, and luckily I have an SSD so easy enough to quickly reboot before a game, but thought this might be helpful to anyone else getting unexplained GSOD occasionally!
