    Hi all,

    After playing the game Wolfenstein New Order the screen brightness on my Y510p stays at the highest wh. When I try to adjust it the slider showing the adjustment is shown but the screen stays at max brightness. Also the resolution of the Windows login screen is alot bigger than normal. I reinstalled the latest Nvidia drivers and the problems were fixed, however after playing the game again the problem reappears. I have no clue what causes this. Can someone help please

    Look for any errors in Event Viewer. Does this happen in all games, or just Wolfenstein? Are you overclocking? How are temperatures?

    Well so far just been playing Wolfenstein. I did overclock my graphics card but I set it all back to stock speeds. Same problem. I am not running the game now so its not temperatures. Temperatures for the cpu were hot about 96 in the game but i turned down the cpu speed. These problems are occuring without the game running. The screen brightness is stuck
