    Hello to all,

    I purchased my Pavilion dv9362ea one week ago and I've noticed that when I connect it to an external monitor -in my case an Eizo FlexScan S1911 19''- the screen goes black after 10-15' playing a game like Medal of Honor, or any game with OpenGL. When I'm just browsing, reading e-mails, etc. nothing of that happens, the external monitor is performing perfectly.

    Any ideas why this is happening? My GPU is nVidia GeForce Go 7600 (256MB RAM dedicated) and the notebook runs Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. Thanks in advance.

    P.S. I forgot to mention that these games run very well when the notebook is not connected to an external monitor.

    Have you tried updating the Video Drivers?

    Thanx mtor... I downloaded and installed the new drivers from the nVidia site. Seems the problem is solved now! The latest version for the 7 Series is 7.15.11.5824 (April 2007).
