Not sure what you mean by throttling, what would I be looking for exactly?

My Ram type seems to be exactly as what you have posted. Assuming these laptops have 4 slots from the looks of CPU-Z. According to my owners manual, slot #2 is located where I can't reach it without really tearing this thing open, and sure enough slot #2 is empty according to CPU-Z. so i'm gonna have to ask someone more competent to install that for me :/ Unless CPU-Z just randomly assigned it something. Actually im gonna go take a look real quick after this post.
Edit: yay just looked inside and the first visible spot is free for another RAM upgrade. I also noticed an empty looking spot to the left of the HDD. Assuming that this is left open for a future HDD space upgrade should I choose to add! Perhaps a SSD...lol

I had 1 main problem after I brought my laptop back. After the initial direct X and driver failures causing the benchmark not to work, I ran into the Grey Screen of Death.

Simply put, the benchmark ran fine for about a minute or 2, then my screen would become greyed out.

This was also the case in FFXI as well so I kind of became alarmed. I researched this and found out that a few Asus G73JH owners also ran into this problem and it is a result of the drivers being incompatible with some settings on the graphics card.

I used AMD GPU tool to set engine and memory clock settings to something someone, who was facing similar problems, had recommended. It seemed to work and I could run the benchmark + XI without any further GSOD. However, once I shut my laptop off and then turned it on the next day, the GSOD returned. Looking at the AMD GPU tool, the settings had reset them selves to the values that were causing the GSODs. It seemed my fix was only a temporary solution that lasted only until I restarted the laptop.

In short, I had to take a risk and flash my VBios (Read, re-program the graphics card bios and risk bricking the pc if I screwed anything up) (having never done it before) to have the engine set to 699.99 mhz, and memory clock at 1018.75 mhz (previously set to 699.99 and 1000.00 respectively).
