    it is starting to annoy me, frequently when I'm watching videos, example on youtube, megavideo, or any online streaming videos, on firefox or google chrome, my laptop crashes, it gets a black screen and a repetitive stuck sound, don't know how else to describe it) I have the latest nvidia video drivers (270.61), my GPU is the 435M.

    Is this happening to anyone else?
