    Hi guys,

    I am a owner of MSI GE620DX laptop with GT555m and switcheable HD3000

    I am having a BSOD problems when waking up from sleep with the system running GPU stress software like furmark.

    As I run furmark, I put the computer to sleep, and as I wake it up. BSOD happens.

    While I run Crysis 2 and put the computer to sleep, screen flickers during sleep and wake up.

    I'd like to know if any of you guys are having the same problem too or would you guys mind doing what I am doing to see if BSOD occurs to your MSI laptops.

    I am reckoning its a driver problem with optimus switching where sleeping turns off the GT555m and as it wakes up, optimus couldnt switch over to accommodate furmark and BSOD happens.

    I would appreciate it any of you guys are willing to test this for me.

    Thanks!

    Maybe its not a a good idea with any laptop to make it sleep when a graphics intensive program is running.

    I don't think most people would call this a problem, because most people really don't care too much about standby right in the middle of a game. Why don't you just save and close out of it first?
