    hi, I've been having some problems with my laptop, particularly the v.card.

    At first when I got my Laptop it works fine, then I've installed some drivers to try out what's best. I also install RivaTuner to OC it.

    At first it runs fine.. Then after a week, everytime I shut down my laptop, and for like after 8hours and turning on again, the FPS on 3DMark05 and other games(FEAR,NFS Carbon) dropped incredibly.. like 5-7 fps on 3dmark05. The normal FPS are like 20-30fps..

    I tried to uninstall the drivers and install the stock driver, then it works like a charm.. FPS are back to normal.. But when I shut it down again and turn it on after a couple of hours.. it is back on the slow fps condition..

    My current driver is X-Treme G Mobile Force M4 driver.. 97+

    I already undo the OC and it is now on stock 450/350..


    Can someone please help me...

    Or point me to the right direction..

    And what Driver should I use..

    After this, I won't OverClock my v.card again..



    Thanks..

    Have you tried Nvidia drivers or Laptopvideo2go.com drivers?

    sounds like you overclocked from the get go so maybe your gpu clocks are just resetting after the shutoff for some reason?

    Exactly.

    I've uninstalled RivaTuner and set the v.card driver to stock.. and it seems working..

    Gonna test it if this will still fail.
