    Sometimes while playing games (day of defeat: source, team fortress 2, f.e.a.r.) the video card will freeze, and upon returning to the desktop there will be a message saying 'Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered.'
    I have searched for ways to fix this and one of the most common suggestions is download the latest drivers, although there doesn't seem to be any drivers that have been released for the 9500m GS on the nvidia website.
    Anybody else have any suggestions/experiencing the same problem? Also the computer is surprisingly hot, i'm not sure if that's just how this laptop operates or if there is anything i can do to lower the temperature.

    I had same problems with stock drivers...Update to either 175.80 or 175.97...just google 175.80 or 175.97 drivers and it will come up with many places to get them from

    If you're using laptopvideo2go make sure to use the modded INF otherwise the installer won't work.
