    My G73 - x3 runs awesome ..
    no crash on furmark .

    but games crash with GSOD,(infact i have seen many colors)
    crashes even in games like Half Life - epi 2 .

    i am on bios 211 and 10.8 and 700/1000.

    vBios (do i need to do that ?)

    what do you think might be the problem? and where do i start looking ?

    Do the vBIOS upgrade. That should fix it.

    Yep vBios will more than likely take care of you issues. If your using the official 10.8 from AMD/ATI then this would defiantly benefit you (something to do with hardware ID information in the vBios and driver builds).

    Go here and follow the instructions and you should be golden :).
