    I have an Nvidia Geforce Go 7900 gs. Ever since drivers 163.69 or so and on I havent been able to overclock my video card in vista or xp. I've tried using rivatuner, atitool, and nvidia's own tool. For 3D High Power I cannot overclock. My clocks wont stick. If I downclock however my clocks will stick. If I, then, resort to restoring my clocks to how they were originally (raise my clocks back) they will just bump back down. The wierd thing is that I can overclock 3d low power and 2d just fine, but of course, when gaming these modes arent used. Does anyone have any advice to how to fix this? I've tried usng drivercleaner with every new driver and no driver has worked as of yet.

    Additionally, has anyone else have this issue?

    Did you flashed JuanLu's unlocked and optimized BIOS?
    Revert back to stock BIOS and you can OC again.

    Toshiba's cant have custom video bioses becase the video bios is included with the system bios. They are both combined.
