    I have an Asus G1S-X1 with a C2D t7300, 2 gigs of ram, and a 8600M GT Graphics card.

    Recently I've been experiencing stuttering while playing aion. It'll run fine for a bit then stutter for a bit repeatedly at random intervals.

    I can't remember the last time I updated Drivers - does anyone have a suggestion for a Driver that may fix the problem? Or know what I can do to fix the problem?

    My specs should be fine for that game according to Aion support - so I've no idea what's going on.

    It's probably a sign of a failing GPU due to overheating. The 860M GT GPUs are known to be faulty across the board and the best suggestion is to have Asus replace your G1S with a G1Sn mobo and 9500M GS GPU if it's still under warranty.

    Yeah, I was thinking that may be the problem. The thing that makes me doubt it is that it only happens when I play Aion - the other MMO's I have on this laptop (some being more graphic intensive) seem to be running fine.

    It's just weird all around.

    How's your GPU temp while running Aion and other games?

    Get that stuff fixed and replaced. If you're under warranty insist that ASUS replace it. I was "only" playing FFXI when my 8600M GT started stuttering.. then just died.

    NV has been having problems recently with drivers overheating cards. Hopefully you didn't pick one of those up.
