    As title states. My m11x will crash and it will not allow me to turn it on. This only happens when I play a game. The whole system will completely shut off and I will not be able to reboot it unless I remove the battery for roughly 30 seconds and hold the power button down. Once I place the battery back in it will boot up with no problem.

    First I thought it was a fan problem but I did verify that the fan is working.

    Specs:
    OC'd to 1.7ghz
    4gb Ram
    Nvidia Drivers: 197.16 WHQL
    Windows 7 64bit (fresh install)

    Anyone have this problem?

    Disable the overclock and try it again. Theres every possibility that the overclocking is causing the problem.
