I have a couple of issues on my OCZ DIY nbim17a gaming laptop that I am almost 100% sure are driver related. I don't know which drivers are causing these problems, so I'd appreciate some help. I have Windows 7 SP 1.
I can't seem to find a good link for my hardware, so here's the roundup:
Core™2 Extreme X9100 CPU (Quad Core)
ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870 X2 in Crossfire mode.
Generic Bluetooth
AuthenTec Fingerprint Reader.
Realtek High Definition Audio
Intel PM45 Chipset
Let me know if you need to know another.
Problems:
1. Whenever I start a full-screen game, close it, and then open it again, or another full-screen game, my screen goes black and my GPU fan turns on. This sometimes happens on shutdown too, no way to get out of it other than to force shutdown. I have installed the latest drivers for my video card, and re-installed them just to be sure, no help.
2. When waking from sleep Aero will be disabled. This also causes some odd glitches, like when I play a game, like Minceaft, I will get normal FPS but the game will jump like it's skipping frames. I have no idea what causes this.
3. Audio Problem and "screen drag". Sometimes out of nowhere my audio will start to skip and or go slow. When this happens my mouse pointer also kind of "drags" across the screen, like it's lagging. I've installed the only audio driver I could think of, the Realtek one.
Thank you for reading this long post, I have been beating my brains with these problems and really could use some insight
{Edit} I also have 2 base devices in device manager that I can't find drivers for. If someone knows what they are that would be great
