    ive tried a few different versions,

    295.18 was not constant.. had issues on and off.
    so i worked backwards throu drivers untill i found one that was good.

    285.62 is good no frame drops or high temps..
    i can play all night without problems.

    Hi,

    This may just be random luck however, I had trouble with the drivers finding hardware to use. I just today downloaded the latest driver from Nvidia (296.**) and it installed fine with no probs.
    The only thing that I may have done differently is that I had my laptop plugged into my samsung HD tv via HDMI cable.

    I have the GT555M 3GB on an Alienware MX14 that arrived on the 30th(ish) of Dec with bios A07.

    I did try modded .infs etc with no luck.

    Hope this helps anyone still having problems

    Rob
