    Hi everyone,

    I recently got this laptop, I have been playing Crysis, The Sims 3, Dead Space, Need For Speed Shift on it. However I have always noticed 1 problem. The system always seems to lock up whlist am playing these games.

    I have the latest DOX drivers. And I have overclocked my GPU to 715/850/1785.
    I got Windows 7 X64.

    Thanks for your help!

    i thiink your core clock it to high. backoff on your core and shader clocks a bit and see if that works. for me a 700 core and above always causes lock ups.

    I tried with 700/850/1770. Played Dead Space (that went fine, no crashes) but Need for Speed Shift crashes and so does Crysis.

    Any ideas? My temperatures don't go above 60 I think.

    Go back to stock clocks and see if it still crashes.

    Oddly enough, it doesn't crash when I go back to stock clocks. :S

    This is weird, the temperatures don't go high when it's OC but it still crashes.

    Thats not odd, that means that clock is unstable for you.

    Nah, I said it was odd because I don't think the clock was high.

    Your GPU begs to differ.

    Don't compare to other people's setups, each will be different.
