    Hi I'm new here and I've run into some problems with my zepto 6324w.

    I have the graphics card geforce 8600m GT 512mb and this card seems to have a lot of problems :( im not sure, but it does get very hot during gameplay. also sometimes when playing a game on windows xp 32bit with the newest drivers off of nvidias website it just shuts down randomly, maybe also worth to mention is that a crt is connected to the laptop constantly.

    I have been looking for new drivers and found laptop2go but im really clueless here. I really don't know a lot about computers and such and would really be grateful if someone could pinpoint me to a good driver for my znote :)

    You are fortunate that your GPU has kept running this long. The Nvidia GPU has a latent defect. Read this thread for a method for temporarily fixing it.

    Hi John, thanks for the reply.

    My graphics card still works. I can for
    example still run starcraft 2 at good/high settings. The PC do get hot, but i just keep it midair and it works fine. You can even play mafia 2 on it.
    Im hoping I wont need to follow that guide, i know i would screw it up.

    Do you happen to know any good drivers for my znote?

    appreciate your answer

    Yes John, but I've heard that drivers from laptop2go is supposed to boost the fps in games and be a whole lot better than the official Nvidia drivers. But I'm not sure. Do you know more about this?

    I don't have first hand knowledge of this. However, tweaked drivers which provide better performance are also more likely to trip up.
