    So I've been trying to run a benchmark test on my new m17x r3 but after all the graphics tests are done, i get a black screen until i escape or end process 3dmark 11. Is anyone else getting this issue?

    That usually occurs when you've overclocked the GPU a bit too much. Do you mean at the end of the 4th test and before the Physics test (Test 5)?

    Yes, exactly, but im running stock voltages. I just received my laptop today just trying to check if anythings wrong.

    Could there be something wrong with my cpu or gpu thats causing this?
