    Hi All,

    I just recently got a M70 Laptop but the video card has some issues.
    This is the laptop newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220361
    (Can't post URL due to Forum Post requirement)


    Once I login to Lord of the rings Online and start playing for 30 minutes the laptop freezes within 30 minutes. I set the graphics from High to Low but the issue is there. As for Warhammer online, it would freeze instantly after logging in.
    I then decided to install STEAM with Half life 2 deathmatch. Same freezing issue.

    Anyone else having the same issue?

    Thanks

    Try updating the drivers. Check out laptopvideo2go.com

    Why do you suspect the video card is at fault? Does it only occur while gaming? Download a program such as rivatuner and monitor your temps. Sounds like it could be overheating.
