    Hello everyone,

    I've been having this problem for a LONG time but have been unable to pinpoint where the problem lies.

    When I play a game (TF2 or any other source game) for example, I would get a game freeze after a while where the screen goes black, then recovers with a significantly lower frame rate.

    When I go to the event manager to see what's going on, I see this error:

    Any tips? I do overclock my card but the temperature is hovering around late 60s and early 70s. I am also using the latest graphics driver from Nvidia.

    Are you playing the game on battery power or is it plugged in?
