    Well. It is a refurbished G50vt-x1 from tigerdierct...
    using original vista x64 with the default driver for 9800m gs.


    When I played a game, it gave me black screen under vista64 many times.

    After I installed xp on it using compatible driver , I tried the latest and Dox181? . It gave me screan crash and the system halted for seconds.

    Can anyone tell me the best driver for 9800m gs?

    I want to make sure that the problem is from software or hardware.

    Thx
