This really sux, installed the new drivers and still get what looks like static when I run an opengl app or game. Don't run opengl and everything runs fine. Driver issues at it's best.

Got a quick Q on this, I have the Sager 8790 with the mobility 9700 I get it all to run but I get corruption in the video as soon as I run an opengl app. Anyone else run into this?

I have mine on the 8790 with gentoo working. It can be done.

That is Usually a ram issue when it's random. It could also be a CPU that is overheating and throwing random errors. I would change ram out first. If that don't fix it then RMA it.
