    I have an sz650 and windows update recently updated the graphics driver so I think that is the problem but I wanted to see if anyone else had this problem. When using the integrated graphics on battery power the graphics driver crashes pretty often, it never happens when plugged in or on the nvidia graphics card. I'm using windows 7 RC and vista and it happens in both. I was wondering if this could be some kind of voltage problem with the integrated graphics?
    Thanks

    it's the driver's problem. You may not install the driver because the chipset Intel on the SZ is not like the others (same for the Nvidia's driver). Try to use the original drivers provided by Sony.
