    So since i started playing the Bad Company 2 BETA I have been GPU driver errors where it then recovers. This is now happening in Windows explorer without any graphics software running. My GPU temps are good, never above 70C and the other temps in the laptop are all in the proper ranges.

    I found a person that is having similar issues as me, but they have desktop 8800 GT. Here -> http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1138942

    I have this problem regardless of drivers used (187.62, Dox 195.xx, 186.81). I think I'm going to flash my gpu with a newer BIOS to see if this does anything. My question is are their any members that have a 260M gtx BIOS in a .rom/.bin file that you could give me?

    BTW, the graphics card has never been OC'd.Also if anyone has any suggestions on what the problem could be I would appreciate any insight. I have only had this laptop -- np8662, for four months so this could technically be covered if i decide to RMA it, but I really cant be without the notebook for school/work reasons for too long.
