G75 graphics problems

[Naes213]

I just bought this beast. I pretty much play 2 games. EVEonline and Neverwinter Online.
I booted it up, did all the updates etc etc. Everything seems like it's working fine and then I try to play either of the previously mentioned games. Neverwinter graphics keep flashing/blinking and eventually freezes and even crashed the computer once. Eve will blink once and twice and crash the game. I can usually get to task manager and end the games through there.

I've tried the newest nvidia drivers and then rolled them back and I can't seem to play the games without issues.
Surfing the net/watching videos and everything seems to work fine.

Asus G75
Windows 8 64-bit
Nvidia geforce GTX 670M running driver 9.18.13.1422 <--driver has worked best so far as long as it's on low settings.

If anything is there a way to set it back to factory drivers? I didn't try the games with those since I updated everything straight away.

Thanks

I've tried 320.18, 314.22 and the default one that came with this computer. Same thing every time. I emailed their tech support over 2 days ago and they have yet to respond so I going to give it another week and if I can't figure it out I'll return it. I've had all HP's since 2001 and had almost no issues and when I finally splurge for something good it comes with problems. Pretty upsetting.

Just get a replacement G75, they are great machines. You must have just gotten unlucky.

Yea, I love everything about it aside from this one issue.

Alright, tech support contacted me and asked me to update to the current BIOS. I did that and updated to the current nvidia driver from the ASUS website. I played neverwinter for about an hour and aside from a little bit of flickering during zone loads and a short freeze (no crash) during a player intensive graphic battle, things seem to be working MUCH better. I wouldn't call it solved yet but the issue is much more bearable.

Have you tried reinstalling your games?
Delete all trace of the game (all files) and then reinstall them.
Could be they didn't configure correctly, make sure your Antivirus is in idle or disabled while the install is running.
Sometimes some "Antivirus" software will interfer with installs, they will scan files as they are installing.

I've been playing both games most of the day and I have had no issues since I updated the BIOS so we could probably consider it solved. Thanks for the suggestions from the rest of you.
I downloaded:
BIOS 223
http://support.asus.com.cn/Download.aspx?SLanguage=en&p=3&s=388&m=G75VW&os=36&ft=3&f_name=G75VWAS223...
and updated the Nvidia driver to Version V9.18.13.1100.02 from the ASUS website.

Thanks again.

Great news, there's a VBIOS update in there somewhere, V.210 added that VBIOS update!
