    Hello,

    I've recently bought Lost Planet 2, Dead Rising 2 and Street Fighter 4, and all of these three games some random event triggers a massive FPS drop, and in games that use the mouse to aim, also triggers the sensitivity to go crazy.

    Anyone having the same problems? I've done some research and found that some ppl have the same problems I'm into, but I didn't find any solution.

    The odd thing is that, the laptop can perfectly handle the games, doing fine most of the time, 60fps, but when this random event triggers the problem, the fps never goes through 20-30, it's like the second graphic card just stops working.

    I'm using Dell stock drivers, tried some new drivers (10.12), but the problem persists, is there a way to force crossfire to always work?
