Hello, I have recently (end of August) purchased an ASUS G46VW. At first it was performing well, and it still does, except for when the display crashes. When I play games that aren't very graphics-intensive, such as Minecraft or League of Legends, the display rarely crashes, and the video card performs well. However, during these games it is rare, but possible, that I encounter an error. When I play more graphics-intensive games, such as Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, the errors are more frequent.
Occasionally the game will stop for a few moments, then resume after notifying me of an error.
Other times, it will either cause the game to stop responding (still allowing me to do other things), or it can cause the entire laptop to lock up, forcing me to do a hard restart.
Usually the errors say "...has stopped responding and has recovered."
Sometimes, it's "...has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware."
And on other occasions, I get a BSOD that is usually PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA with nvlddmkm as the file in parentheses.
The laptop is barely one month old. I've tried installing the newest graphics drivers, but they don't seem to help. I've system restored a couple times, and usually that seems to make the problem less frequent, but so far nothing I've done has solved the problem.
Please help, and thanks in advance!
