    hello, i recently repasted my g73jh with icd 7, And the temps are good they stay around 50 at idle. today wheni was in a long starcraft 2 game, i was typing to talk to the other player and my laptop froze, and after a minute it restarted. i played another game like 10 minutes ago and it froze again, and i couldnt even type or do anything.
    my temps while gaming at max: were 70 for both my i7 740qm and my 5870m.
    fraps at the top always stays above 60 fps.\ive played the game with both twin turbo mode disabled and enabled and it still freezes

    whats the problem?

    What kind of freeze happened to you? Have you checked if the HDD LED just below the touchpad is still blinking or no lights?

    What vBIOS and CCC version are you using when the freezing started?

    If you are using Chastity's vBIOS it isn't a GSOD issue (her vBIOSes all use the updated vBIOS that resolved the GSOD issue).

    Asus ROG might need to look into this and get a fixed asap.
