    Make sure stealth mode is off, set it to high performance in the power options and plug the laptop in

    Well if its plugged into the battery and stealth mode is not turned on then I would recommend just reinstalling the game. You should of had steam installed by default so I would Download a demo and see how it plays. Also download Fraps so you can record your FPS (Frames Per Second ) then just compare results. Sounds like a bad install.

    turn off your computer
    unplug it
    take the battery out
    press power button for 20 sec
    put back and see if your osd is back.


    also i recommend upgrading your nvidia driver to newest one, should gave you better performance in games.
