    I'm still using 179.14 drivers on my M1530 w/8600M GT, but I was wondering if there are newer drivers that are more stable? I keep running into the problem that after about half an hour of gaming, the screen freezes, goes blank, and then resumes with much choppier game play and my ability to overclock the GFX card has vanished as an option in rivatuner. After reinstalling the same drivers the problem goes away, but inevitably comes back. I'm pretty sure it is a driver problem rather than a physical card issue as it's not close to overheating (78 C max).
