Nvidia GeForce 360M in my Asus G60JX Errors

Lemur- Yes, the temperatures are the same. In the hour since my last post I haven't noticed the problems.
Also, for me personally, it seems to happen most often while I'm on the internet. Switching between tabs, entering a Google search, loading pages, and sometimes even just scrolling.

A note to the OP: I did not mean to thread-hijack. Hopefully we have similar issues.

Not that easy to just "get a new card" on a laptop......

Ah yes ... so I've heard. Its frustrating to know my "gaming" laptop isn't exactly all its meant to be. I know there are limits to laptops of any type but after 2+ years perhaps the card has almost called it quits.

I wonder if this isn't a back lighting problem....can you connect up a external monitor?

I can connect to an external monitor. Would it matter if it was VGA or HDMI? I have both options.

So it could be a monitor issue? The reason that never occured to me is because the alert bubble that is displayed after a "black out" claims the graphics stopped responding. Unfortunately I do not remember exactly what the bubble says but next time I will get that info.

If the "bubble" comes up on the black screen then I doubt its a screen problem....Have you tried drivers from the Asus site?

Actually the notification comes up when the screen is restored, if that changes anything. And no, I will look at those right now.

Edit: There isn't much that looks like it would help, unless it'd be a good idea to get the update for the chipset? http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Gaming_Powerhouse/G60Jx/#download

Some laptop nVidia cards work better with older drivers, as well. There have been some known issues with drivers past 275.xx for some cards. Does the Asus support site provide the original driver? Can you install the original driver using the recovery DVDs/recovery partition?

If you install this way, use the following method.

1. Download and install Driver Sweeper
2. Get the original drivers for your display card
3. Click Start Menu
4. Right Click My Computer
5. Click Manage
6. Click Device Manager from the list on the left
7. Click the + next to Display adapter
8. Right click your display/graphics card device
9. Click Uninstall
10. Check the box to Delete driver software for the device
11. Click OK
12. Restart your computer in safe mode
13. Run Driver Sweeper, select display card manufacturer's drivers, analyze, clean
14. Restart your computer
15. Install the original drivers
