Hi guys,
I bought my G74SX a few months ago, and had some issues with it from the start. The explorer.exe would keep crashing, and so would the display drivers. I did a reinstall from the recovery disks I made, and the explorer.exe was fixed.
Sadly, the display drivers still kept crashing, so I downloaded a fresh vanilla Windows 7 Pro X64 from MSDNAA, and installed that yesterday. And still, the problem persists.
Whenever I'm watching YouTube videos and such, the display driver crashes from time to time, which makes the screen flash for a moment (black, then back to normal) and Windows gives me an error message that the Nvidia Display Driver Kernel Mode has crashed, and recovered or something along those lines. I've tried so many things: reinstalling from original disk, reinstalling from a clean Windows, I've had 3 different Nvidia drivers but it just keeps happening. It's very annoying as some programs crash when the display driver crashes, or YouTube vids just give a green screen instead of the video.
This is a way too expensive laptop to have such issues. Can anyone please help me on this, as I'm getting a bit desperate. The weird thing is that it never crashes during games, and it seems to crash way less when I use a Windows theme without Aero.
Any tips, hints or solutions would be greatly appreciated. I really hope it's not a hardware matter.
Kind regards,
Senne
