    Hi all,

    My display driver has been crashing ever since I got this notebook and was wondering whether anyone might have some idea as to how to resolve this.

    It has only occurred a few times in Windows, but when I am gaming (tried PES2010, C&C Generals, and AOE3), I get a resolution change whilst the driver crashes and recovers which causes a lot of lag and sync issues with the people I am playing with. Happens every few minutes..

    I have tried:
    -clean install of Windows, using Windows Update supplied driver
    -clean install of Windows, using Lenovo supplied OEM driver
    -clean install of Windows, using Lenovo supplied driver from support site
    -clean install of Windows, using Intel driver direct from support site

    Cheers,
