    Hi, I have NP8660 with 9800m GT and having video problems. I have video but like if in safe mode. Its not using full potential of video card. I tried resetting the video card and it worked but only temporary like a week or less. Not sure what the problem is maybe, the connection disconnects. I was wondering if anyone has heard or knows what to do. Thanks

    I installed windows 7 and installed the latest version last year and gave up and bought another comp. It first happen when playing warcraft 3. You think drivers would cause that?

    tbh our cards are almost 3 years old now so the latest drivers might be more of an hindrance than benefit.
    all along ive recommended the nvidia 186.81 as the best gpu driver ive used so it might be worth trying them out.
