    Hello all, alright. I've owned my G2S-A1 for about two months now and haven't had any major problems with it however within the last few days I have had a problem w/ my color on my desktop and in IE windows etc. Also when running Lost Planet my frame rate has dropped significantly. The problems in a bit more detail are as follows:

    1. Color-periodically when I start up my computer or bring it back from a "sleep" state my desktop which normally contains alot of grayish/blueish themes w/ some white in it is somewhat messed up. The lighter gray-silverish tones are now a light sandy color and in IE windows etc. where it's typically white, there it looks more yellow/golden. To fix this I right click on desktop (Vista OS) then click NVIDIA Control Panel. Next I click "Video & Television" and then click "adjust video color settings." On this window I click restore defaults and my color is back to normal however, usually the next time I restart or wake my computer the color is messed up again.

    2. In Lost Planet: Extreme Condition I run it on DX 10 and have been able to play it w/ decent settings and live with about an avg of 22 frames per second because it's a third person shooter, however since I noticed this color problem, when I try to play this game the framerate has dropped right around 11 FPS under the same settings. I have even reduced the settings somewhat and have had little change. Even stranger is that while in the game, the upper left fourth of my screen (if divided into 4 boxes) is blurry and I can see a definite line of where it goes from normal to the blurry section.

    I don't know if these problems are related but I would assume they have to do w/ a problem in my graphics card but I'm not exactly an expert, any help/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Ok, nevermind, I'm a moron. A couple days ago I took my lappy to class so I changed my power option to "battery saving mode," typically when I plug back in it automatically changes to "high performance" but apparently it didn't go back this time so I just manually changed the power option and played Lost Planet and it seemed to run normally again. Sorry for the waste of time lol.
