    Since last week when I received the M14x I've been having problems with my Killer 1103 card. I downloaded new drivers and my computer started crashing to BSOD everytime it would connect to the internet, I tried instaling and reinstalling new drivers and nothing helped. Then I called Dell and after checking stuff out they told me to completely restore the system. I did not want to do that and went with the system restore to an earlier date and it worked!!!! Except all of a suddden my computer cnnot detect the Nvidea Gt555 GPU!!!! It shows that I only have the Intel card!!! Can anyone help me locating the Nvidea card or shed some light on what happened? Thank you!!

    Download and install the latest 555M driver.

    I had the same problem when I first received mine, the Nvidia GPU wasn't detected by anything. After a driver update, all was ok.

    You probably restored to a point before updating your GPU driver.
