Hey I had a shutdown last night playing D and D online...

Im not even running the highest settings kinda dissappointing....

I was wondering if someone could post a how to and what is the latest video drivers for these laptops 9860 etc.. i hve the 6800 Video Card.

I read some posts but frankly im confused but I feel like I should be able to play these game and hoping this must be driver issue...

Also i do play with laptop up high to allow ventilation.. but it was hot as hell so any suggestions would be appreciated thanks...

Do a google search for "mobometer"; the program will give you information about your HD and CPU temps -- don't know about the video card, but those will give you a general idea of how hot your system is running. Could be that the problem isn't your video card, but something else on the motherboard. If your temps are more than 50HD/75GPU then that's too high. You can remove the panels on the back and take out the GPU and CPU coolers to check that the thermal compound was properly applied. Make sure there are no dry spots on the chips. There are posts in this forum somewhere that tell you how to clean and apply compound to the chips and heatsinks.

The latest official drivers can be found on Sager's support page. If those don't work and temp isnt an issue, then I suppose you might want to try the latest Geforce drivers at Nvidia's site. However, I still suspect the problem may be hardware related since it seems the clevo motherboards aren't of the greatest quality and the systems drain alot of power and generate alot of heat.
