    Ok im really really aggravated how my new gaming laptop is running...heres a list of the games and problems i am having

    First specs.
    Intel Duo Core 2 Processor 2.2 Ghz
    8600M GT
    2 GB of ram
    Vista 32 bit 169.09 drivers
    Updated Vista
    Updated DX

    Games / Problems
    Diablo 2 - Not starting with expansion...even with updated patches, running as administrator and changing compatibility mode.

    Crysis - Was fine at the beginning but then it crashed and im not able to open it any more. Black screen just shows up

    STALKER- even with settings on low im getting around 10-15 fps....then when i save it crashes. I have 1.005 patch upated.

    Command And conquer 3- settings are on high but it get 10-15 fps with occasional drops to 0.

    Gears of war - major stuttering problem.



    I dont understand when i first got this laptop i was able to run all my games with high settings on all of them with no problem....now im not even able to enjoy any of my games....i am not rebooting my computer cause ive all did it twice, and my supporter didn't support me at all.

    Try reinstalling the Nvidia drivers, maybe with the new 169.29 drivers or the older (yet completely stable) 167 drivers.

    Gears of War has stuttering problems independent of your notebook's hardware.

    Have you read the thread about the reported stuttering problems associated with the 8600?
