    I have a D900F(NP9280) and have a GTX 280M. If i use the notebook for easy thinks my gtx 280M work fine. If i play 3D games or run 3DMark, then the screen turns black after 1 minute and the came these error "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding and has successfully recovered". I tried to install the original driver from clevo. But there come the same error. If i install driver from nvidia i get the same. I flashed my GTX 280M to GTX 285M and installed the driver from clevo for the GTX 285M. But also the same problem. Please help!

    Here a System report from AIDA64 and from GPU-Z

    Sorry for my bad english :rolleyes:

    I edited the registry to turn off der "nvlddmkm". I start a log file with gpu-z and run 3DMark. these time i don't got a blackscreen but my D900F freeze completly. Later i looked at the log file and i saw, that the Memory Controller Load was at 2013-03-24 12:05:34 0%, the moment where was the freeze! Gives there any Solution for this problem?

    Generally when a card won't take any driver without blue screening, that can be an indication of a bad or dying GPU. Have your temps been exceedingly high by any chance?

    I fixed my problem. I edited my VBios with nibitor and set the voltage from 1.00 to 1.03. Now all is fine no freezing anymore!

    Those are somewhat scary measures to resort to, so I hope it doesn't cause you any more instability. Glad you fixed it though and enjoy!

    I have a Clevo 571TU with a GTX 280m and I've been having the same issue in Guild Wars 2 exclusively... I have tried various "fixes" listed on the internet to no avail. A few minutes into the game, I start getting the TDR error every 5-10secs until the game crashes all together and I have to shut it down from Task Manager.

    I've had some other problems with other games - freeze and stutter of sound in Empire Total War and Battelfield Play 4 Free.
    Battlefield 3, for example, plays fine.

    The thing is, the symptoms appear similar to heating, BUT my temps are generally around 70-80 and I've had the TDR as low as 60 degrees. I disassembled my machine and cleaned it thoroughly, but the problem persists... Different drivers didn't help either. I was wanting to upgrade the GPU, but the MXM sockets changed with 3.0 and the GTX 280m is the best I could find that fits into my MXM 2.0 HE...
