    That is a NV Verde Driver issue (be helpful to know which driver you have installed) - try the current dell driver. Also revert back to default clocks.

    I'm running NV 258.96 Drivers @ default clocks It would still freeze.. I will try the current beta drivers from dell and see what happens.

    troubleshooting i've one
    - system came with vista bus - ran the upgrade for win 7 pro when it came out.
    - reinstalled with a full copy of win7 pro - have done this 3 times
    - install the latest drivers for all devices when they're available
    - i picked up a 500gb hdd and installed a fresh copy of win7 to that instead of the 250gb hdd that came with the system
    - ran a full suite of est from PC check diagnostic software and nothing failed in the system.

    i'm not sure if anyone has some suggestions but anything would be great. I'm going to contact AW this week and try getting some stuff going with them as this is really frustrating.

    was advised of this thread and just wondering if anyone has had any luck with their R1's and support from AW...

    Is it safe to come out of the woods and install the A04 bios for R1? I searched back a few pages but haven't seen a definitive answer on whether the ac adapter and any other issues were solved. Thanks.

    Use either A03 or A05. Do not bother with A04 at all at this point

    For some, including myself, A05 has a bug as in windows doesn't charg the battery at a certain point if the battery is disabled (and discharged).

    Agreed - A03 is probably the BIOS of choice for now. The charge issue is the fail point for A05. A04 had the 193W issue.

    Stick with A03 for now.

    With the NV Verde latest driver (258.96) i get random fps drops (caused by several DPC Latency spikes). Also changing from stealth mode to full power mode after sleep caused BSOD.

    Anyway what is the best driver until now?

    Edit : This is an example of what DPC Latency Checker shows during such a fps drop

    197.84 P06 beta driver from dell website is the best now, stable and good performance, all verde drivers cause random freezes
