    So i bought a couple of month's ago a Gateway P 7915u Fx the one with nvidia geforce gtx 260 m.
    The problem is when i play a game any game no matter how old it is it always crashes after 2-5 minutes.The crash consists of the speakers buzzing and the screen stopping like taking a print screen. The same problem appears when i try to watch free movies over the net when in full screen. I tried everything from drivers to shipping it in service and the only thing they said was watch what codecs u use and how u install games witch is kind of absurd.
    If anyone knows or has an answer pls reply i am desperate.
    Tnx.

    I had the EXACT same problem. I bought it back in late 09 when it first came out and I couldn't do anything. Games would freeze up, movies would buzz and lag when I played them. Screen BSOD'd on me a couple times before completely blacking out.
    Return it ASAP and ask for a replacement or credit/money.
    I figured it was just defective and I'm yours is too.
    Sorry if this reply is late.
