    I'll attempt to take a stab at this...make sure your GPU drivers are up to date and if possible post the rest of your system. Are you running a Dell? Sager? etc

    I would check the obvious things first, just confirm that you've done the following before we move on:
    - Update your video drivers from the Lenovo site (or nVidia if you can)
    - If you have, reinstall; make sure you do a fresh install
    - Run a virus scanner, etc
    - What's your temps at?

    Try HWMonitor - just google it, download it, run it, play 2k12 for a little bit or until it crashes. It will record what your min/max/avg temp is for your GPU. Also, answer my previous questions - I can't help you until I know the facts.
