    Hello, I am trying to underclock my GPU to keep the heat down the life up. I have been able to underclock it for normal operations but when I boost up the res on my laptop to 1920x1200, play high def content or connect a tv via HDMI it may BSOD unless I kick the clock speeds back up. I have been using RivaTuner to do my mods for now. Please assist, it is a 8600M GT using windows 7 32-bit. I have no need to do any 3d work/gaming.
