    whenever i turn on my m17xr4 the screen has pixelation in some spots i would upload a picture but dont know how to upload pics, anyway thats when im running off the radeon hd 7970m. then if i try to swap to the intel hd 4000 it goes away then i swap back to 7970 its still gone any ideas?
    also ive noticed that the card when i see pixelation it is kinda cold compared to what i usually see usually 50-51 c but its running at 30c could this be the culprit? thanks for the help. sorry if im kinda noob (just swapped from consoles)

    You can attach and image to your post or use a sight like photobucket and then put a link from that in.
