    I played fullHD content from youtube.
    Played one video in MP classic in 720.
    Played other movie in WMP
    WIthout being plugged in. Just on battery.

    At one time.
    Nothing happened.
    When i played simple game. World series of poker 2008 which i think isnt so demanding, the system crashed.

    Any ideas whats going on?

    I have 1.00V in all graphic modes except from 3d extra where is 1.13 because system is overclocked.
    690GPU
    880Mem
    1725 shader.

    Do you think that GPU needs AC in order to have more power?

    THANK GOD
    found the solution
    i applied option power management mode in nvidia control panel: ADAPTIVE
    earlier it was maximum performance
    it was the key

    SO if anyone has similar problems. Check this option.

    SO
    POWER MANAGEMENT MODE: MAX PERFORMANCE - when AC mode
    ADAPTIVE - when on battery

    What I also noticed.
    If i set my gpu mem at 890 then it crashes on battery. Video driver hangs.
    I came back to 880 and everything is fine.

    Voltage was 0.8 and 1.0 and it still crashed.

    I use 280.26 WHQL

    In order to save battery life, the CPU doesn't work at its full potential when relying on a batter reserve. Of course, you can change that, which you figured out how to do.
