Hello fellow ROG users.
I hope to find some advice. I have a GL502VS-FY051T (6700HQ, bios:302).
Am I the only one having trouble installing newer nVidia drivers, than the one assigned by Asus on the download site (368.91/V21.21.13.6891 from August 2016)?
I have tried several other nVidia drivers, both official and those from the GL502VSK download site. The result is always the same:
I play a lot of GTA V, and with newer drivers, I get a lot of screen tearing, no matter what settings i use ingame and in the nVidia control panel. The end-result is always the same: the PC suddenly reboots with no BSOD or warning. And this isn't a temperature issue. Sometimes the reboot comes even before the fans speed up, and sometimes i can play an hour or two before it happens. There is no sign of failure in the eventlog.
I have tried installing Windows 10 from scratch (without Asus programs), and only installed new drivers and GTA V - the problem persists right untill I fall back to the 368.91 driver.
The PC runs great with the old nVidia driver, but it's getting annoying that such great hardware, must run on a year old gfx driver. I feel like i'm missing out on a lot of improvements. Any suggestions?
Also, it's like the fan-air runs underneath the enter-key. When the fans are spinning, it makes an annoying semi whistling sound, unless I press hard on the enter-key. Is there a solution for this, or is it just one of those design-flaws you have to live with?
