Strange Bug on my R2 - WoW

Alright, so I do no think I have ever had a bug as weird as this....

Basically I am playing a game (So far only WoW has done this - I play it the most) where suddenly it freezes and I am forced to close it through the Task manager. After I kill the process it remains open in the process list even though the window is closed and I am unable to re-open the application. The only way to start the game up again is to restart. But it doesn't stop there! When I shutdown/restart the screen turns off like normal but the keys are still lit and it seems like the computer it still on. So... I have to force power it off. I start up the computer and reopen WoW. This has happened three times since I received my R2 on thursday. It never happened on my R1.

Weird, no?

Do you overclock your GPU?

 

Nope. Do not need to.

 

Don't even have my R2 yet but I'm pretty sure this is an Optimus issue, what drivers are you using?

Pretty sure there was a lengthy thread about this issue on the forums but I can't seem to find it, try looking around!

 

I know which thread you are talking about. I completely forgot about it. I'll double check it but I don't think there is anything on there about this. I read a good portion of it before buying this one

 

Since you mention that you can't shut down the process and have to do a hard reset it might be related to this thread http://forum.notebookreview.com/ali...gaming-lockups-crashes-discussion-thread.html They have similar crashes and have to do a hard reset as well. I think the only solution so far is to underclock the gpu.

 

Thanks. I tried underclocking it based on one response in that thread. Hopefully it works.

 

Ever since I upgraded to 266.58, this doesn't happen to me in wow anymore.

 

I had this problem on 260.99, all you need to do is minimize & maximize it. It does get annoying though, so if upgrading to 266.58 works then go for it.

 

Haha I am running 266.58
