I have Sager NP8790
Bios Revision: V122 1.00.10
KBC/EC firmware rev. 1.00.01
VBIOS Revision: VER008.011.001.068-2004/03/10

PhoenixBIOS 4.0 Release 6.0

What I need to update? Which driver will work well with it?
My screen show artifacts each time I use any 3d software. No matter D3D or OpenGL mode (games or editing program) in 2d mode it seems to be is OK.
But today it do artifacts in 2d mode too. I think it is overheating GPU problem.
Any Ideas?

Your best bet is to get a clock chaning program for the graphics card such as ATI tool and downclock the memory of your graphics card. If you are under warranty get an RMA and get the motherboard replaced and then as soon as you get it back downclock it as much as possible and clean the laptop as much as possible

G-Omaha, you are the Best! Thanks a lot.
ATITool helps. Slow my memory from 280 to 240 and it is OK now.
I have added termal cream to GPU also.
Never seen any game on my laptop before. Now it is very well.
