    OK, I bought my laptop a few weeks ago. I've been trying to play GuildWars on it, and it crashes. Constantly. Locks the machine up bad, and have to hold down the power button until it shuts off.

    I have tried:
    -the original gfx drivers that came with the machine
    -the graphics drivers off Clevo's site
    -the latest gfx drivers off NVidia's site
    -swapping from direct sound to wave in teamspeak

    None of the above solve the problem. In addition, an obscure problem I've had with this machine and this game is that using a bluetooth headset causes it to lag something terrible. Was just by fluke I discovered it was the bt causing the lag.

    The above crashing, though, is when NOT using a bt headset.

    Any other game plays fine. I've played Oblivion, World of Warcraft, Civ IV, etc.

    Anyone else havign this problem? Anyone have thoughts on what else it could be?

    Forgot to mention: it's the Go7800GTX card, and 2 gig of ram in the machine
