    I finally fixed the high temps I was having on my g51j around January, I rarely got over 80, I averaged around 60-75. Everything seemed fine until 3 weeks ago when I reinstalled win7, I would get intermitten screen freezes,and one time the device manager reported that the display adapter failed. Then one evening I turned off the laptop so I could take it to work the next day. It hasnt displayed since, I see the hard drive activity light and the screen stays black. I WILL NEVER BUY A LAPTOP WITH NVIDA EVER! saving money up for MBpro
