    I did the Windows Update recently and it had a driver update for the graphics card. When it rebooted it came up in 640X480, any idea why M$ would give out a bad driver?

    I did this several times and it was definitely no good. Reinstalling the official ASUS one worked fine.

    ^ That's what I would suggest...looks like you already did it though.

    There's also Omega drivers but it's been said that they can lead to heat issues.

    EDIT: Looks from the other thread that you're already having heating issues...did it happen after this update?

    Please use the original driver CD to reinstall a driver that comes from the box, don't forget to uninstall the updated driver first. After installing it, it should work fine.
