    Hello all ,
    i just got my M17x R2 back from the repair depot and they said they replaced the GPU

    so i was playing Battlefield BC2 with the stock 8.6xx drivers and then an old problem ( assumed to be solved but still unsolved) surfaced
    the video link at the bottom should show you the problem
    the display is linked to the laptop via an HDMI cable
    The laptop needs a hard reboot after this incident . it has been happening frequently
    Help please? - YouTube
    any solutions?
