    Hey.

    I'm gonna start with Dirt 3; I can't run it in fullscreen mode. It starts windowed, and when i press alt+Enter to go fullscreen it either returns to windowed mode or laptop freezes and nothing but holding the power button to turn it off works.

    Minecraft runs fine for about 2 minutes, then again laptop totally freezes like it does when i run Dirt 3 in fullscreen.

    Other games like nfs hot pursuit and team fortress 2 run fine for hours.

    Right now I'm using catalyst 11.7 driver, but I tried to revert to the stock HP driver and that didn't fix the problems. Intel graphics 3000 works fine though. Anyone with similar issues?

    Edit: I updated to 11.8 preview drivers and minecraft stopped crashing.

    I forced directx 9 in Dirt 3 and i can run it in fullscreen mode now. But dx11 still crashes.

    Any ideas?
