    Hey there... new to the forum, Received my M11x-R3 earlier today and have encountered an issue! Thought it was the GPU but now am not to sure, long story short if say i load up a game or even test my benchmark with FURMARK my screen starts to flicker and blink. The thing that i dont understand is if i plug it in to my monitor or tv with a hdmi cable it works fine hitting 100 fps on swtor. Now what confuses me is it can run on my screen fine and the in built screen just flickers. So now i dont know if its a conflict of something? Can anyone help me in this department please? Thank You

    I had similar issues with my newly m11xr3 and long story short, DELL support had to replace the motherboard.

    It sucks, I know...

    Good luck mate.
