I have this problem, but I am not a "techie". Where do I find
windows/system32/drivers on my system. I can follow your instructions once I
get there, but I don't see anything on my system that looks like that.

Also when I first got this machine my mate got an identical machine
(Same time, same place, same order.), yet he does not have this display
driver problem. We compared everything we can think of and we know a
reasonble amount about computers, we both have no clue as to what to do
to fix this issue. Any ideas?

Good info Lissa but I thinkVista'sadmin system is good because it sets it
"tight" as default first off and you control the relaxation of those
controls to others. This is a steal off Linux who have always done that and
there you use the sudo release.
Note, these fixes didn't work for me, but I found another solution.
It turns out that heat was the root cause for me. I struggled with
this for months until I was purposely cranking up the heat in my room
above 90 degrees F. I found that my laptop cpu would peg at 100% with
kernel times above 80%. There was no clear culprit process hogging
the cpu. The laptop was unusable and the display driver would
sometimes fail. When I switched to AC, and quickly cooled down the
laptop, the kernel processing dropped quickly and the system operated
normally. A few more random-length cycles, and eureka!
If its an Intel CPU, then they slow down as they get too hot.
Its Intel's way of reducing the power so the temp stays safer while still
allowing the machine to limp along.
This would show up as vista getting slower and slower and using 100% CPU.
Over clocked machines can suffer from it but the owners often just blame the
software for getting slower as they use it.

Dennis. In that regard you're just like the newsgroup idiot Frank.
I've overclocked all kinds of systems for over a decade, most Intel
NONE ran hot. Again, it depends on if you know what you're doing or
not.
For the OP, if you built your own, I'll give you odds you used too
much heat conducting compound between the CPU and heat sink. Too much
is as bad, actually worse then too little.
This system, one fairly aggressively overclocked even under stress
never gets hotter than 82F ever rendering a video all night long.

Oh do shut up.
You are begining to bore me.
How else do you explain the problem occurring when its hot do the fairies
come out?
You're a stupid ignorant fool.

Why do you get the impression I am trying to pass myself off as an expert in
anything?
I have already stated that I am not.
Tell us all about overclocking that doesn't raise the CPU temp.
ROTFLMAO!

Overclocking will ALWAYS produce more heat. That is a fact. Don't believe
me look it up.
Did you read the post. Its a laptop. I would highley doubt he built it
himself
82F Lets see that would be about 10F over ambient. I don't think so. Can
you post a screen shot?
