    The default driver that came with it from 267.21 freezes World of Warcraft and Counter-Strike Source and you can't even end task them on task manager and if you try shutting down or restarting, it will just show on screen shutting down forever.

    So I uninstalled the default nvidia driver, installed the new 270.61 from nvidia website that requires the inf from laptopvideo2go site and installed correctly. Now with 270.61 driver, the game would start but the damn screen is all black on WoW and CS:Source and you can just hear the background music but screen is all black. :(

    What am I suppose to do here now? Am i stuck or what because I don't know if there is another gt 540m gpu driver besides those 2 that is causing headaches.
