    Im having a problem. Few days ago bought new laptop - Asus G60Vx, with nvidia 260M video card and Code2Duo P7450 (or like that) CPU with 2.13GHz.

    Wanted to play Blur, but I cant. I start the game, first map is good, but at the second map the game gets really buggy! I get "video card stopped working" error! I lunched blur with lowest settings (keeping max resolution) - doesnt help!
    I should be able to run the game, as notebook passes recommended requirements.

    Tryed playing dirt2 (highter demanding game), and it doesnt crash at all! All goes smoothly!

    Anything what could be done? What could be wrong?
    Newest directx driver, psyx. Tryed reinstall to another driver version (newest from nvidia), but it didnt run smooth enof (felt like little laggy) checked internet and found that 197.16 is best driver, so using this driver for now.
    Tryed Mafia II - runs smoothly! No lags, only Blur crashing...

    Update the game to the latest version. Blur ha a crappy code and the game perform weird even at minimum settings. Again, it's game problem, not your laptop.
