I have bought the same configuration but I am facing some problem. Whenever playing even low-end games, graphics card seems to get stuck in between sometimes. And after that, it may or may not recover. If recovers, then well and good but gameplay experience gets bad. If it doesn't recover on time, it shows blue scree. Also, sometimes when playing game, it suddenly shows black screen and starts making really loud noise and only option out is to hard switch off laptop using power button.

Games I have used are Assassins Creed (part 1), second life, Warcraft III Frozen Throne. Sometimes I can play these games for 30+ mins and sometimes same game gets stuck within 2 mins or so. Did anybody faced same issues and any tips what could be wrong with my laptop? Is it graphics card, driver, windows 7, motherboard or something else (probability in decreasing order according to my thoughts)

it looks like your laptop is overheating, try to put the laptop on a hard, smooth surface when gaming to ensure the fan isnt blocked and there is enough space underneath the laptop or buy a laptop cooling stand
