    Hi
    Trying to find solution all the time. I had Vista Ultimate x64 installed. Now I`m using Windows 7 and still suffer from the same reason. Horizontal lines and lockups. When powermizer is on there are screen distortions and lock ups. When PM is off my gpu reaches 70C in nostress setting. What is going on?

    My ports arent blocked. I have 7805u. What is strange that fans dont spin up. BIOS is 9C.17.00. Maybe gpu fan is dead? howeever sometimes it spins but very rarely. When it goes about the lines, they are similar to these: http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=334705#post4315800 however they only occur when PM is on. Now Im having 74C and fans dont spin up again. WTH?

    I think your driver is the cause of all this, mine too. I fixed it by using 181.71 (with a little help from mobility modder) :D, you should try it ^^
