    it should look more like this:
    On Tue 31/01/2012 17:36:15 your computer crashed
    This was likely caused by the following module: ntkrnlpa.exe
    Bugcheck code: 0xC5 (0x8DE8, 0x2, 0x0, 0x83302770)
    Error: DRIVER_CORRUPTED_EXPOOL
    file path: C:\Windows\system32\ntkrnlpa.exe
    product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
    company: Microsoft Corporation
    description: NT Kernel & System
    The crash took place in a standard Microsoft module. Likely the culprit is another driver on your system which cannot be identified.

    I experience huge fps drop with Diablo 3 under these drivers (running Windows 7).

    Anyone know how to fix this? Happens after I install the new drivers. Won't boot into windows.

    On Thu 10/25/2012 10:13:01 PM GMT your computer crashed
    crash dump file: C:\Windows\Minidump\102512-6099-01.dmp
    This was probably caused by the following module: ntoskrnl.exe (nt+0x7EFC0)
    Bugcheck code: 0x3B (0xC0000005, 0xFFFFF800035FCDD3, 0xFFFFF88006DBF390, 0x0)
    Error: SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
    file path: C:\Windows\system32\ntoskrnl.exe
    product: Microsoft® Windows® Operating System
    company: Microsoft Corporation
    description: NT Kernel & System
    Bug check description: This indicates that an exception happened while executing a routine that transitions from non-privileged code to privileged code.
    This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
    The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

    ive not had that one before so not sure. can you boot into safe mode F8 on startup. and then do a system restore to the day before.
    second one to get a bsod. ive not tried them yet as i only updated to the latest whql on the same day these were released.

    hopefully someone else can advise.

    Yeah I know, I used driver sweeper to clear out the drivers and reverted back to 306.97. Installed Win 8 on another HDD and same issue with the BSOD. Not sure what's causing it. The only thing different about my system over any other m17xR4 is the Clevo 680m rather than a Dell.

    my screen goes full brightness when i start games in full screen mode :(
    the set brightness level remains the same ( set lowest brightness, but screen is full brightness). if i increase the level, the brightness normalize. just a little bug, but it is really annoying after a while for me and my eyes.

    my notebook: dell inspiron 7720 17r se with 650m 2gb gddr5

    edit: well, steam is bugged i guess, so don´t mind this comment

    Epic boost on win8 compared to its first win8 driver (306.97, iirc). Crysis from 10fps to 40+ on a GTX 680M

    Don't download these drivers unless you feel like it on your desktop. Too many laptop crashes.
