Hey everyone!
First, if this is the wrong forum, I'm sorry.
So here is my issue:
I just got my Asus G73JH back from a RMA because the screen was broken. They replaced Display & Motherboard and it worked perfectly fine for a week or so. I had the Asus Stock drivers completely installed and hadn't changed a thing. All of sudden the Laptop would be shutting down while gaming/watching videos for a few minutes because, according to the Event Viewer of Windows, "Graphic Card overheating" which I just don't believe to be true because when I touched the laptop it wasn't hot at all. Also, it didn't matter if playing CSS, BFBC2 or anything else, it would just shut down after the same amount of time. I googled a bit and found something about that this might be a driver issue, so I tried installing a more up-to-date display driver (Catalyst 11.5, display driver 8.850.6.0). The overheating stopped (a miracle!) but then I started to get GSODs at completely random points of time. Played for 2 Hours yesterday until I got a GSOD, today it would just happen at windows startup. Google tells me the fix for this is a BIOS update, problem is: I got the newest BIOS (213) already installed (due to the RMA).
So I tried installing several different drivers (older Versions) and with each and single one I either got the GSOD or the Overheating issue.
I guess my question is is there anything else i can try (like downgrading my bios?) or do I have to RMA it again? Or is there any driver known to work except the stock driver? (I didn't try all of them because it's a pain in the ass uninstalling the freakin CCC)
Greets and thanks in advance to anyone trying to help 🙂
