    Just received my M11x R1. All seems good except World of Warcraft crashing with graphics > fair

    As soon as I log in or hit "apply" with the graphics above fair the game will freeze. I can tab out immediately but if I let it sit there the whole computer will lock up. I tested Starcraft 2 to see if it's faulty video card and it runs fine. I confirmed my WoW files are not corrupt in anyway. I've tried dell stock drivers, latest Nvidia drivers running discrete in BIOS, and now switchable 258.96 drivers and all of them exhibit the same behavior. I've read a lot of threads in this forum, and searched Google without finding anyone complaining about this.

    What should I do now?

    It says in the title. Im not sure those are the latest drivers out for the r1. Check the dell website and make sure you get the latest drivers from there, which is older than the ones you have I think.

    Ya the latest ones for the m11x r1 are 197.72. If that doesnt work reinstall the game.
