    I have a major problem that is driving me nuts...
    My Z decides to give me a bluescreen whenever it wakes up from hybernation (under stamina and speed) and whenever I try to play newer games such as l4d. Older games such as ut2004 run fine...

    I updates the Bios to R2, updated to the nvidia drivers and everything is running fine (brightness etc in both modes).

    I was thinking it maybe has something to do with the directx version (11) but that wouldnt explain the wake up blue screen.

    Z21vn running win 7 x64 ultimate

    I also noticed when I try to change the power settings from high performance to anything else, i get a blue screen as well (system_service_exception)

    i guess it got to do with the driver with windows 7. or the RAM sticks or slots. run the memtest.

    Second, update direct X and ure ready to go.

    This solved all issue I had, from Blue Screen to Games Crashing.
