    So I just got my laptop back from RMA and I found that my hard drive had been wiped. Thinking that this is a good of a chance as any, I decided to upgrade to Windows 7. After doing so and installing all the drivers, I decided to try a game and it doesn't work. When I start it, everything runs smoothly for about 1 minute and then afterwards its starts getting choppy with smooth bits and really laggy bits. I'm running my GTX 260M on firmware 186.81 if that helps. Also, I noticed that the resting temperature of my graphics card is now 67 C and it shoots up to over 100 when gaming now. Is there some way I can fix this?

    i'm not a pro at this but most probably youre going to have ship it back due to sensor failure, however 4 steps i see: 1. use any program to manually blast the rpm of the fans 2. update bios 3. chang gpu driver 4. exchange thermal paste.

    Good luck hopefully that will help...
