    My reccomendation to you is to use the Asus drivers. I can't imagine the the W3j needs a non-official driver to run at top speed, and that if these problems arise when using those drivers, the Asus should be stable. Hope I understand the drivers you are using right, otherwise, sorry I can't help.

    Don't use 6.9, they have powerplay bug (unless you want it disabled completely).

    Yeah, for whatever reason 6.9 through 6.11 have the powerplay bug (reboots on me if I try and switch powerplay settings). If you use powerplay you're best sticking with the 6.8's for now...
