    Can you roll back to the drivers that came with the unit and try CSS again?

    Just wondering.

    I've had my P7805U a couple of days now, I have not seen the need to update any drivers yet. I did uninstall a bunch of crap software :D

    Definitely sounds like a driver problem. Which version of the driver did you install?

    It could be getting hot. Make sure you don't have anything under it blocking the fan intakes.

    I dont know i downloaded from nvidia, I just read that I should get laptop2go, but im not sure which one to download, the 179.48 have the 9800gts in it but its a nvaa and "The definititive nvidia driver" is telling me to use the ns_disp" not the nvaa, but the 185 doesnt have the 9800gts

    By the way, be sure to uninstall your existing driver before installing the new one. This step is very important.
