    Get the latest driver form laptopvido2go.com (v178.13). Download both the driver and the modded INF( What is modded INF?). If the driver can't "see" your GPU, go for the "Have Disk" method. Follow the guide.


    Also you might check the temperature of your GPU and make sure it's not overheating.

    Dear Mr Louka

    You have a brand new lappie. I would doubt the GPU is overheating. Sir.

    Kind regards,
    Mr TeeJay

    Click on the power icon on the right of your taskbar - the one that looks like a battery with an AC plug next to it.
    Pick High Performance from there.
    Make sure you're gaming while plugged in.
