    this notification pops up several times while in use.
    I don't know what it means can someone clarify?
    At first the whole screen glitched with lines up and down the screen for about 2 seconds and then this notification popped up. the screen does not flicker or glitch it was only once but this notification keeps popping up all the time. I can still return my laptop, so I guess I am. since I am not very convinced and this shouldn't be happening, also its a open box return computer if that makes a difference

    Update all of your graphics drivers and disable hardware acceleration in your browser.

    Finally. Someone else with this problem. I keep getting this problem while using firefox. Once in a while, the drivers crash while running firefox and a couple of times, the drivers kept crashing continuously. I have the latest drivers. I have had this problem since I got the laptop a month ago.

    I have been getting this issue on my desktop computer with an AMD GPU, only when firefox is running the GPU driver crashes, sometimes it recovers but other times the computer freezes. Only happening when using firefox though.
