    Ok this issue just started to happen. Only when the A/C adapter is plugged and playing WOW my system just freezes up. I'm not over heating all temps are below 60celcius. All drivers are up to date. I've read people were having this issue with other models, I've reformatted, reinstalled, and everything else in between. Any help would be great.

    OK just tried installing drivers from sticky and that doesn't seem to be working either. Also tried installing updated drivers from ndvia website and after install and reboot windows tries to load and I get a frozen sky blue screen.

    It only happens when playing WOW?

    Has there been an update to WOW recently? That might be causing some kind of issue

    Yea it only happens during WOW. I don't play any other games, there was an update but it was running fine after that update. And like I said only when A/C adapter is plugged in. I will have to get a new adaptor and see if that works out.

    I just got ntune and i noticed while monitoring my Fan Aux1 is only at 80rpm and Aux2 is at 20480. But my Gpu temp in game doesnt seem to go above 60 degrees. Could that fan be my problem?
