What will happen, if you use the previous driver again?

[Edit]

I'm using nvidia driver version 280.26 with W7 Ultra 64bit.

I am not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this so if it is not please point me in the right direction.

Lately my g73jw has been blue screening and after doing a little research it appeared I was encountering what a lot of people were where when the cpu idles it crashes and then bluescreens. However now it just bluescreens within a minute or 2 of starting up unless run in safe mode. I am not sure quite how to go about repairing the problem.

This is the info I have from the blue screen

Thanks.


Does anyone have a link to buy a replacement rubber foot? I'm missing one of the really long triangular ones.

Okay, I'm sure that someone here is bound to have done this, so hopefully they'll have some sort of solution. When swapping out RAM underneath the keyboard, I had issues with removing the speaker plug from the mobo connector and as a result, popped the whole blasted connector off. I'd gather re-soldering is out of the question due to the soft plastic (I'd learn how to solder if it would work). When reading other tech tales of woe, I saw people suggesting an epoxy to repair broken SATA connectors, which seems as though it would be a similar problem. So might an epoxy work with resecuring this connector to the mobo?

1) Is the G73JW compatible with 5.1 headsets (gaming headsets like Razer, Roccat etc.) that are connected via usb??



2) My laptop doesnt go to sleep gracefully when the battery is very low - instead it simply cuts the power off.. What's the matter?

1) Yes. If it is USB, then almost any computer can handle a 5.1 or 7.1 surround-sound headset.

2) Check power settings to make sure that you have the correct settings. To get there go Start menu > Control Panel > Hardware and Sound > Power Options > Change plan settings [of the active plan] > Change advanced power settings.
Near the bottom is the battery section. Make sure the "Critical Battery Level" is 5% or higher. Then, make the "Critical Battery Action" to hibernate.

Hope this helps.

Thanks. Btw - maybe you (or smb else) can recommend me a nice 5.1 headset within the $75 price range

This is what I'm using. Sound is pretty nice. I'm not an audiophile but it is definitely a great headset.

Any idea what happened here? I had a lot of files on the other partition that I need, so if you could offer any advice I'd appreciate it.

Thanks!

Sounds like a common hd problem. Most likely your MFT is damaged. This is easyly checked with with diskgenius or similar tools. Your files will still be there, and you can recover them with the same tool. Then run any diskrepairprogram.
