If your video card is factory overclocked (especially if it’s a 5xx series, my old 570 would just die at random until I did it…total waste of money) use something like eVGA Precision or MSI Afterburner to downclock it to the speeds of a standard model. Just go to newegg or w/e to get the correct clockspeeds for a non overclocked card.

Ok Im the original poster of this and do not overclock anything on my asus G73SW gaming laptop computer. It has a gforce 460M card with 1 gb onboard. Other stats are in the above posts. But on my specific case I had no temperatures that were high enough to cause any problems. I reported them also in this thread in above posts. I am still waiting for it to crash again now that I turned of auto reboot on error. So after 3 to 4 hours of continous play I had no bsods. Also I took a break yesterday from this problem lol. So I’ll report more later after I see if it posts a bsod.

Going back to the original poster, a BSOD will show in the event log, very very very rarely will it not. You are also prompted with a recovery notification when the OS starts up again. The complete absence of one is what still leads me to believe the computer is shutting itself off/rebooting itself as those will not show in the event log aside from event 41.

So if I understood correctly I should have a recovery notification if its not the power supply. Which I do have a notification and asking me how do I wish to proceed. Start windows normally is what I put as the answer. But I get that every time. I hope that is what you meant.
