    make sure the gfx card is not overheating is the first call i would look into. coretemp is a good free program to check them.

    check nvidia driver is not causing a issue, next time to feel like the systems entered stealth mode, unplug it from the mains, and reconnect it see if it clears it.

    I have the same issue... This week I have had problems with my m15x. When I play games the screen freezes for about 5 seconds (which is a lot of time in a fast game) and then the game plays again. It has become very annoying.. The CPU temperature is around 74C when I game and the GPU is around 85C. I don't understand why it is starting to do this... I played all of my games fine before, but this week it just freezes randomly... PLEASE HELP ME
