I just tried installing new drivers for my alienware m7700 (clevo d900t) with a 6800 and now the screen keeps going black (completely off, the lamp goes off too) every 5-10 seconds. It looks like its changing the resalution, in the way the screen shuts off and comes back up, but nothing is changing... I tried uninstaling the drivers through the mobile force uninstaler from the start menu, but that didn't help, then i tried instaling new ones, and that hasent worked either. the ones i tried chanign to that started the problems were the latest ones, realeased this august, then the second ones were the 94.24 ones. Please help!

Try using Driver Cleaner Pro and install modded 92.91 from LaptopVideo2Go. I heard 92.91 is the best for the mobile Geforce 6 series GPUs. I actually used 92.91. Had no problems with video playback, system standby, games, and it overclocks well too. Nvidia Powermizer is fully enabled in 92.91.
