Hi everyone. I have a laptop that's about 1 year old and has never overheated running a 9400M G (which is a hybrid of the 9300M GS and 9100M G). When I initially installed the latest drivers (275.33), at seemingly random times it would turn off the monitor/black screen. The computer would still be on and all the typical lights would be flashing, but the screen would be off. I rolled back to the OLD drivers that came with the laptop (179.81 i believe) and as far as I know, it never had the problem. I then upgraded to the Xtreme-G 275.27 drivers and those ran great for awhile but then all of a sudden just today, it happened again. I decided to try my luck with drivers that were slightly older, so now I'm on 258.96. So far so good, but it's only been an hour.
My question is, what could possibly be causing this? Am I unlucky enough to run into a situation where I happen to cause problems with the new drivers (although im just browsing the web, etc.) or are the newest drivers crappy? Or are they simply just not good for my type of GPU? I really like the newer drivers cause performance is way better, but not at the cost of this. Hopefully these drivers I'm at right now are good enough.
The laptop motherboard/GPU shouldn't be going out because it has never overheated and it's a lower powered GPU with no seemingly overwhelming issues (unlike the 8000 series). I really hope it's neither, cause that would suck. Anyways, any suggestions? It could be a control panel setting or something too, maybe? If so, let me know what you think.
