    Hey just want to comment on a couple issues I've had with the p300.

    First is sometimes it doesn't want to wake up from sleep, so I have to force shutdown. Happens probably 1/4 of the time I put it to sleep.

    Second is Nvidia issue. When I play something like CS, every now and then (read maybe 1/15 times or 1/20 times) the game freezes and starts flashing. Then I get one of the dreaded

    "Display driver nvlddmkm stopped responding, but has succesfully recovered."

    I'll have to close the game and restart and it works again. Tried installing newest Laptopvideo2go nVIDIA ForceWare X 180.70 for Windows Vista 32bit drivers but didn't change anything. (I had the 'stock' before this).

    Wondering if anyone is experiencing these also, maybe someone has a fix for the sleep issue (I think the nvidia issue is widespread (beyond just LG), but has yet to be solved)

    hey there 92

    I've had this happen to me as well, the only time it happens is when I use the batteries. If I plug it in it should be okay.

    I don't know what the problem is so I don't really know how to solve it with the exception of suggesting to keep the plug in or do not use the lowest power settings.

    As for the video card drivers it happened to me once. I don't know why it happened but it did. I don't play games much on it so I can't really say.

    I'm hoping to find answers too :)
