    I've become very frustrated here with my video drivers, I've switched back and forth between 179.14, 174.74, and the latest from both Dell and Nvidia, and yet my display drivers keep crashing while playing a racing game on my external 1280x1024 monitor. They never crash when I'm playing games on the laptop's screen, but for some reason it's a problem for this card to output to an external monitor. I've tried just about everything and after some length of time playing games on the external display, all of a sudden the screen blanks, comes back on, and the game is much choppier and I've lost the ability to overclock the card in rivatuner. Anyone have any experience with this laptop and this same problem? I don't care if I need to install drivers that don't perform as well so long as they're stable, this is killing me that I have to keep reinstalling these drivers over and over.

    Anyone? Does anyone else have this problem or can someone recommend a driver that has been stable for them?
