    whenever i start up a game like cod4, cod mw2, or any other game really on my l702x, it starts out fine. however every few minutes the game will lag up really bad, the screen will turn black for a few seconds, then it will go back to normal. i just got this laptop a few days ago and im wondering what i should do about this, and what is causing it. i have the 555m, 2630qm 2.00ghz, 6 gigs ram, 500gb hd, 1080p ag screen (non 3-d)

    thanks

    Uninstall then reinstall the latest graphics driver. Not much else you can do after that but call Dell.
