G73SW - Diablo 3

[FelipeN]

Hello!

That is my first post in the forum and I already started it with a problem.
I currently trying to run Diablo 3 in my g73sw, which has 8 gb ram and a geforce 460m 1.5gb, but the computer keep crashing after 5 to 10 minutes of game.
I already tried some solutions that I found in this forum ( atualize the atheros driver and the chipset driver)
I also have instaled the last version of the video driver (301.46, which I staled today) and the last realtek audio driver.
Nothing worked and my computer still crashing every time I try to play.
Somebody can help me fixing this problem?

Thank you!

Okay so next step is:

Right click on battery icon (near the clock) and go to power options, then select your current power plan and click on change plan settings. Next, click on advanced power settings, scroll down and go to processor power management. Then go to maximum processor state and change both to 99% (battery and plug, instead of 100%).

Try this with nvidia inspector (applied to diablo 3) and the latest driver that i linked above. Set your ingame settings normally, like 1920x1080 resolution, shadows on medium/low and turn on vsync.

80 degrees isnt that hot in a laptop, so i wont believe thats an temperature problem. I´ve been playing during all day and still no freezes here. My temperatures are near 75 - 80 degrees.

You must install the driver that i listed, with nvidia inspector and changing power settings. Test!

Something I've noticed with Diablo 3, is that if you have Vertical Sync turned on, it limits the FPS to about 30, but if it's off it caps at 60 FPS. But for me, aside from server issues, I've had no issues at all running on my computer at max settings

evandroo!

It got alot better with the power change but didn't solved 100% the problem.
Now the computer freezes only half of the times that I try to play.
Is there something else that I could try?

Ok, set that values to 98% and try with everything i listed (driver, nvidiainspector, etc)

I just found this in Nvidia website.

I have tried diminish the percentage until 80% and still freezing. Seams that the problem is with the geforce 460m , but I didnt find any solution for it yet.

If anyone have some oder ideia please let me know.

Thank you very much for the help evandroo
