    I own a Asus G73JH-A1 with stock drivers for ATI Catalyst 10.4 and Bios 209 recently i bought a new game Tomb Raider Underworld and installed it but after playing it for a few hours the game starts to stutter and then loose graphics and then sudden crash and even Gsod.
    I have other games also which work like a charm such as Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Metro 2033, Alein vs Predator, Prince of persia The Forgotten Sands. All these games require a lot from the laptop so they stress it to the fullest but i had never had any problems with these games even if i played them for hours nearly 5 to 6 hours.
    I tried to upgrade the Ati Catalyst to 10.5 but the same thing therefore i reverted back to 10.4.
    Can anyone tell me why this is happening because the gpu heats up and the starts to crash or is it something else ?

    Its seems to be the setting of the game. Try patching it and check the game support faq/forum. I had a similar problems on my old computer. Just some tweaks and it should fix it.

    For me, I had to added some command to make WC3 work on my computer.
