    I just got an e1705 and then i downloaded 3dmark05. I ran it and got 5911 3dmarks. Then i uninstalled the stock drivers and installed the ones from laptopvideo2go. When installing them i got BSOD'ed and it said if it was a driver issue to uninstall the driver. However, when Windows rebooted, everything seemingly works perfectly and i got 6375 3dmarks.

    My question is, should i be worried or be doing something to resolve this problem (if everything seems to be working is it a problem?)?

    And on a side note, I thought that there was an easy overclocking menu built into these new drivers, was i thinking of other ones?

    It looks like they installed fine. If you go Right-Click Desktop --> Properties --> Settings --> Advanced button --> then hit the Nvidia tab, there should be overclocking options in there. Which drivers do you install? At the moment, I have the 93.31's on a Go7600 and they work perfectly.

    Here is a Print Screen image of what it looks like. The slide-out menu did not capture when I took the image, but it slides out and there are "Clock Frequency Settings".

    Yeah i've seen that before, but i only have the first 5 tabs.

    Anywho i downloaded NVtweak to unlock overclocking. I am going to go test it in 3dmark05 see how it works.
