    My touchpad's left lower side is lower and it doesn't click right. Also GPU is probably DOA. It crashes when playing games and pixels on the screen, GPU clock stays like on 400MHz on playing and sometimes @835Mhz but the GPU is @ 0% load, drivers crash(have tried 306.2, 304.79, also the driver with it came at first). I have windows 8 RTM final but I doubt that makes any difference because had same problems in Windows 7. Temperatures are good, max with furmark was 73C, also I have the i5-3120M version. Should i send it to RMA, i am from Estonia and expertise would take like 1-2 weeks? The thing is that i need may notebook for school because i learn programming. Probably no other solutions than RMA?

    Your games are probably not switching to the dedicated GPU.

    Go to the NVDIA app and set the game to run on the dedicated card.

    Have tried that aleready and it's not about that. But it went to RMA because the card was dead.
