    M15x - MAJOR FPS ISSUES

    Hey all, I've been browsing through past threads made by people with similar issues, but I didn't find a fix. My M15x is running a 240M.

    Basically, I've had this laptop for around 1-2 weeks and it was working fine up until a few days ago. My fps went from around 100+ in games like CS:S to it barely being able to hold 50, and even then it's jerky as hell. In WoW, my fps in 25 man raids has gone from like 30 to 1-5 fps, and that's not even an exaggeration.

    I have already reformatted and am currently running the latest driver, version 197.16 64-bit. Even after doing this I've had no luck, and I'm completely out of ideas :confused:

    Any help? :(

    Cheers.

    Did you by accident enter into Stealth Mode?

    Why? It's simply fixed by exiting Stealth Mode lol.
